Angel....
Angel!
Angel!
don't leave,
I am sorry
i never meant to hurt You
i never meant to leave You
You were my life
You are my life
Aunt Cecilia's words echoing in my ears
as I left Hong Kong
i boarded my plane 11:45 pm 15 minutes before midnight
I called Alen before my plane is in the Air
i wad so tired i almost dropped the phone from my hand
i heard him say " Take Care on the way Home", i'll meet you at the Airport
Did he really meant to pick me up?
I didn't hear his words clearly
because my mind still is dreaming of my previous day
My Mom, my Mom
i was uttering
when a Flight attendant offered me a drink and fixed my seat belt and gave me a blanket
I love flying
i love being on the Airplane
it meant i was going somewhere
i just want to be with Alen
what i heard from Cecilia
shook my entire body to the core
i think i want to sleep forever
i drank whiskey and a shot of tequila on the way home
words words were said
my mind was slipping away
and i fell asleep
"Angel, did your Mother never told You, you had a birthmark on the back of Your ears?", Cecilia was holding my hand so tight as we walked towards her house.
I left my shoes on the foot of the stairs, her garden was so exquisite, she has strawberries hanging from the ceiling of a glass house a green house made of glass!!, i gushed and looked some more over a mini bridge where kois are swimming in the shallow pond, is a gazebo where an "A" was etched.
i named You Angel, when i gave birth To You, i was alone, i didn't have anyone beside me but You, Cecilia's eyes flashed before my eyes.
the plane has landed and My head was heavy as the Captain spoke.
Arrival oh no, i slept the entire flight.
Was it all a dream?, The Air never left my lungs, I was heavy breathing, almost breathless, as I went to the ladies room at the airport, i fixed my self, just to be a mess after my eyes started to water as I saw Allen and cried in his arms.
He held me and never spoke a word.
