The Story of How We Met

It all began in Berkeley, California In the spring time of 1974 One fateful afternoon I was dozing in my high school Physics class. I looked up and saw A tall, beautiful Asian woman standing looking at me. I screamed out, Who are you? She disappeared like she was beamed away from my dream. I knew that someday I would meet the girl In the dream Little did I know I would have to wait until 1982 Starting that month I began having the same dream Month and month and month. Always the same. She was saying something To me in a strange language. Then one day I had the dream and knew that she was in Korea. So I chose to go Korea In the Peace Corps, Somehow knowing That I would meet her there. That morning early in the morning I had the last of these dreams. This time I understood her. She said, “Don't worry. We’ll meet soon.” That evening As I was getting off the bus To go to my class I saw getting off the bus The girl in my dream. It was she!
