Date With a Tourist

As you chameleoned in this red restaurant I passed by you nonchalant You came near hoping I’d notice Little you know, Already I have sensed you in abyss We strolled over chaos and headlights We talked over fermented duck eggs and silly insights! I took you to an awkward place You held on to my smiling face We landed with sugar skulls and a mojito on hand The fondness we had, the giggles we jammed I retreated tipsy, the weather flu got you drowsy Nonetheless, we parted the night in a starry ecstasy We seconded with coffee Our conversation, though barred by ethnicity was flowy That sunny humid afternoon was supposed to be your flight You chose to miss it to spend us one more night The night you desired to remain became my renewed adventure I took you to places that gave both our hearts the seizure We were sitting, popping a bottle of beer on top of the city. Blinded by the vast aerial urban lights, we were cozy. By daybreak, we had to wake the reality To face the hour where we separate from our shared gravity Miles do separate us anatomically But from the distant galaxy, we belong in one entity Until we meet again, let us nod over an interim use of fiber optics Let’s be ambidextrous until we can find better tactics All that is cyber for now we’ll have to see for later I may see you soon, I may see you never Will there ever be a sequel to this chapter? All that I know is the cold July you snuggled with Ember All memories of you remains calm and light That moment… I’ll forever hold… Until your next flight… I am just waiting on the other side
