I fly the same airline
Because you are the attendant.
Me waiting for that smile of yours,
Which I know I can never receive.
At two thousand feet height,
With you inside the same room as me,
I relish you flashing your smile to everyone
Not to me alone,
The smile for which I can die
A thousand times,
The smile for which I can wait
Till eternity.
O darling,
Here you are so near yet so far.
And when you ask "Tea or coffee?"
I drink the bitter coffee,
With our bitter memories inside me.
O darling,
Why can't I be carefree,
Like the traveller snoring on my shoulders?
