random musings

i got this from watching turn left, turn right (gigi leung, takeshi kaneshiro).. so many times i had to pause the player as i tried to jot down the english translation flashing as subtitles in the screen.  as i type this into my blog, i can’t help but remember my friend who used to keep my hopes up by telling me that our destiny was just around the corner.. that all we had to do was wait for the wonderful surprise fate (or in our more spiritual sense, God) had in store for us.. and to this day, we eagerly await until we become the perfect complements meant for whoever they may be.  :0)

good morning, God!  :0)

both are convinced

that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together

beautiful is such a certainty,

but uncertainty is more beautiful

because they didn’t know each other earlier

they thought nothing was happening between them

what of the streets, stairways and corridors

where they could have passed each other long ago?

i’d like to ask them whether they remember

perhaps ever being face to face in a revolving door

or an ‘excuse me’ in a crowd

or a voice ‘wrong number’ on the receiver

but i know their answer,

no, don’t remember..

they would be greatly surprised

that for a long time

chance had been playing with them

not yet ready to transform into fate for them

it approached them

backed of,

then suppressing a giggle,

jumped to the side.
