Airports



Walking hurriedly down to the arrival area, i noticed another lady walking down anxiously.. Who is she here for? Maybe her mom, maybe her sweetheart or maybe a friend she once fell in love with.. Not sure. However, unable to reach him, I try to locate his flight on the screen which tells me he has landed.. Ah! How I long to see you my friend, my lover. Knowing that you will still take a bit more time, I decide to sit in a cafe.. Sipping strawberries and cream sounds like the right thing to do.. Red rose strawberries.. The pleasant cafe boy asks - madam, waiting for someone? I reply with a big smile - Yes!. I cant stop looking at every person passing by. What a coincidence that each one of them seem to be looking for someone. Usually I am always racing against time, today seems different. I find myself counting the minutes as they slip by so slowly.. I imagine you walking towards me - in shorts, a cap, unshaven, in shorts and with your favorite headphones around your neck. I resist the temptation of calling you again to check where you are, expecting a sudden arrival which is so exciting.. Enough now, just come!
