Chang I dreamt of her again. I was walking outside my apartment toward the Key Bridge. It was a sunny day. Weather was a bit hot. I strolled around for a while watching the people walk by. Then, I spotted her. I saw her eyes. Then I realized that she spotted me, too. We started staring at each other, maybe for a few seconds. I didn't know how to react. I tried to smile, but I couldn't force it. It was the same for her. I knew it. She stared at me once more before turning around. She was running away from me. I didn't know why. I chased her for I didn't know what else to do. We ran for a long time. Hours maybe... She was still ahead, running away. I tried and tried to catch her. But, I just couldn't. Then, she stopped and waited for me. We still had to resolve things. The things that I don't know about. I didn't know what to say. I opened my mouth just to say anything, to keep her from running away. Nothing came out -- there was nothing to say. She finally said three words before vanishing back into the crowds, "Mike, it's over." But that was years ago. I now live in Seoul. It's no longer the city that I used to know. The same buildings, the same people, the same smog...the smell... But it's different. I just know. ---to be continued--- |
