My 1,629 Miles Dream

An open letter for the man I like.

I wish you are fine. Always happy, and stay kind.

The smile plastered on your face is like coffee to me, it makes my heartbeat go wild.

It has been 1 year and 8 months since the first time I saw your picture, and since that day I couldn't take you out of my mind.

Never in my life that I'd thought, I could like someone through a single photograph of them. At first I thinked of me going loço liking you, a stranger and all that. So as the cautious girl that I am, I automatically tried to shove you to the deepest pit of my brain. Well I tried. Hard.

But as the days past, I always find myself staring at your pictures on my phone, me dreaming of you.

Of us.

My dream takes place in my most favorite country, The land of the morning calm. South Korea.

Where we are walking hand in hand at Haeundae Beach in Busan. Watching the rising sun, feeling the cold morning breeze.

After that you'd take me to a wonderful restaurant that according to you served the 2nd best seaweed soup, because your mom's the first. Then took me to the place I've always dreamed of, Nami Island. We walked to the Metasequoia Road and it's just as beautiful as I have imagined, and then you took a picture of us under the redwood trees.

After that long and tiring day we got to our last stop, Namsan tower.

We watch the city lights of Seoul open as the darkness takes place. We hanged our lovelocket as a symbol our undying love, we stared at each other lovingly after giving me a kiss on my fore head as a sign of your respect.

You whispered an I love you to me that made me smile and my heart explode.

But before I could say it back, you disappeared, along with the beautiful scenery in Namsan.

The next thing I knew is I opened my eyes, my mom asking me why I'm crying. I just smiled to her and answered

"I've just got the most beautiful dream I could ever have in this lifetime".

The dream of reaching something I could never get.
