.5 hours in changi
finally met K again. it's been more than a year since we met. last year, in march. he was here to watch the singapore-japan world cup qualifiers and we took a short trip to tioman. four days passed by in a flash and i was a wreck when we had to say goodbye at the airport.
fast-forward. he was here for half a day with his group, transit between manado and japan. it was also my dad's 60th birthday and had family dinner so could only meet K at the airport just before he left for japan. i sped to the airport in a cab, the radio was playing jewel's song... dreams last for so long, even after you're gone. i know that you love me and soon you will see... that you were meant for me, and i was meant for you..
i imagined a hundred times what i would say when i met him and then when he came, all i could say was just some stupid, mundane things. like how was your trip in manado, where did you go in the afternoon, the usual how are yous. yup, squandered all of the brief .5 hours we had over coffee at starbucks. there was a moment when he looked like he was going to say something and i had to spoil it all by saying some inane thing before he could say anything. and then, we had finished our coffee and he had to go. because his group was waiting for him.
and now i cant sleep because of the coffee and because i didnt say the things i wanted to say. the remedy, half a cup of rum. now waiting for the poison to kick in so i can sleep.

when u have to say, just SAY out loud. afterall, he's there and u are here. if u need courage, just set 1/2 handphone reminders and pretend that u are reading a sms or something.......;)
