I remember at the airport, I could not wait for you to arrive;
my heart was in congruence with a clock that had stopped in time.
The first day we exchanged glances, it felt like love at first sight;
that further progressed into a passionate path of delight.

For all the time we have spent together;
it had me thinking if this was bound to last forever.
From the illicit responses to the transparent lack of affection;
inevitably, I was lost in translation with this apparent transgression.

It was not until I realized our paths were diverged;
that it was too late as I had deeply fallen in love.
I knew from then on this was too good to be true;
what you had thought it was too quick, too much, too soon.

I gave it all my might to make things right;
sadly, your reaction wasn’t just quite right.
I reminisced in the beginning how we thought without a word of doubt;
I would have never thought it would descend to this darker route.

For now I realize your arguments were not to suddenly fight;
but simply a way of saying we were not quite right.
Until this day, I still feel this true love for you;
but I will never know if you feel the same way too.

For all the conflicts that came into the light;
it was not easy to see what was wrong or what was right.
Even though our journeys have taken different flights;
I have to say, I am glad to have met you that night.
