Sixth Day of Loneliness

The sun rises and sets. The world keeps on turning. But here I feel stuck. Still feel alone and gloomy. They’re right, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Other short messages came from overseas.

There he goes. With cheerful short messages, telling stories about Bangkok. Shrimps, crabs, squids, spaghetti, durian, and art? They’re my favorites! Then I feel like, ”Wish I could fly there with you...” It hurts, you know. Well, he’ll fly home tomorrow and I’m gonna meet him at Cengkareng. Please come back home safely, my dear...
