A Blinking Light in December - Visitor's Love Poem

by La Mer
(Indonesia)

We were once...
talking endlessly...
typing hello and how are you...
everyday...
exchanging stories of our days...
you with your flying...
me with my singing...

you told me about the sky...
I told you about the melody...
then at the end of the conversation...
we always leave a sweet bonne nuit...

once
distance between us were separated by the ocean...
thousands miles away...
but I felt you were so close...
I kind of feel you....
know you...

then here came the real first hello
in one cold winter night in Lan Kwai Fong...
we both could see in our gesture...
we both were real...
until that sweet last embrace....
before the plane took me back here...
that was the time I began to not know you...
because you became far...
fading...fading...and gone...

I thought you were a sunshine...
that will rise everyday to bring new light to the day...
now I realised...
you are only a blinking light...
you blinked brightly fast...
and you are gone just as fast as when your light on...

But...
I know I will always remember ...
how beautiful that light blinking once was...
although...it was only a glance...
just a glance...
in one cold winter night in December...
