A while ago in southern Vietnam, I bought this pair of earrings while looking around for some souvenirs to bring back to Singapore. They were cheap, but they made me feel like they should have belonged to my girl. Just that I'd never had one.
I didn't give them to my cherry girl only because they didn't suit her smile.
So today I came over just to find she wasn't there. The door man asked me to stay, but I guessed it was better that way I left her a little me-to-you bear and a little card. Singapore night was so muggy I sweat all over the way home.
...
- Why do you say goodbye? What do you mean? You are angry, aren't you?
- No I'm not angry at all. I'm sorry we didn't meet today. From now on, I will not come over anymore, so I'd like to say goodbye to you :-)
- Why?
- I'm gonna have a girlfriend soon, and you're gonna go back to your country. So that's why :-)
- Can I see you for the last time?
- No, I'm sorry... Today I came over only to give you my goodbye gift. Now we should not meet again :-)
- Ok... You are only thinking of yourself.
- I'm sorry... I will miss you.
I'm sorry I didn't wait to share with you some cherries while we talk goodbye. We first kissed in the juice of watermelon, and I'm sure for this last time your lips would give cherries the taste I'd never forget. I'm sorry I ended it with you by a card and some cold messages through the phone, you must have hated the stupid smiley faces I faked, you must have screamed at your colleagues to hold up the tears. I'm sorry I left you no chance to feel my presence, I'm sorry I left you no chance to show your emotions, I'm sorry I know you can't say much in this strange language on the phone. I'm sorry I hurt you, a girl already so broken I'd rather cut myself not to hurt...
We lied to ourselves to fall into each other. We blinded ourselves to run away from our sorrow. That was why I had to go, but you know, we lasted cos we understood our failure. And I'm afraid you would be the only one willing to do that with me. I'm afraid I have left you to come back to loneliness for eternity.
I would love to get back to you, right now. I would love to get the sweetest kisses you would give to bid farewell. But you know, the cherries I bought red have turned black. What supposed to be so sweet have turned sour. The yellow roses have died in your dark place, why do you still insist on staying?
I'm sorry I couldn't start my long letter to send to you with those earrings always kept in my back pack. If you don't take, who else would I give them to?
I'm sorry you wouldn't even read these lines. But you know, my cherry lady, I guess we should just leave this undone. Hope my little bear could follow you home, cos the red rose he holds was made to last forever...
