Missed Connection
You found me when I had already been found. We were 9,118km or at least 28hr of flight apart, but you still asked me “What’s the name of my city?” so you could save it to your World Clock. Your city was mine too a few years ago, and you sometimes forgot that. You opened up yourself to me with an expiration date. For 3 days, getting to you know lifted me up. The 4 days following that, I hit rock bottom as I was searching for the closure that you never left me with. I wished you “Have a good life!” like I was ready to give you up. I lied, and Chungking Express lied. How can people say that missed connections don’t hurt so long when it’s been more than 7 months and I still miss you?
