Thousands Miles X With A Smile: Christmas Card.. Never Too Late

been checking the mailbox quite often

as in the real solid mailbox

not that Gmail you are thinking of

 

someone told me

he sent me a Christmas Card

on 6, Dec

 

now Christmas is already over

and we came out with

all kind of possibilities

like the postmen

got rid of some letters

he is just too lazy to deliver

(oops sorry)

 

or ten years later

they discovered a batch of

missing letters

and the card is within the pile

 

or it just been left out

somewhere along the journey

it’s 9000 miles away

you will never know

 

assured him not to worry

because the previous time

the postcard Cheryl sent me from London

took like more than 2 weeks to arrive

and she was already back here then

before I received the postcard

 

yesterday

the first thing I got home

is to check the mail box

 

finally

a red festive envelope

with unfamiliar postage sign

U.S. Postage

 

from someone special

lots of reasons??

 

on contrast to the States feel of the card

it is written in Chinese

Christmas Card written in Chinese

 

what’s more

it’s in traditional Chinese font

繁體字

 

thanks a lot

best wishes to you too

and

 

don’t forget our date

Summer 2012 @

Warren Street

 

A Thousand Miles / Vanessa Carlton

'Cause everything's so wrong

And I don't belong

 

A Thousand Miles / Vanessa Carlton

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles

If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles

If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
