Life with Chinese Characteristics, Chapter 8: To a Singapore Sunset

At a swanky bar 
that soars above the sea
by 57 stories
the skyline steals your breath away
as Jamiroquai sings a song
that more than suggests
you should 
Just Dance
So you smile and you groove and you sway
To the sight of a Singapore sunset

Because you came to see me in my dream last night

I am doing okay
except
sometimes I still catch the sob in my throat
and hot tears pool in my eyes
making goosebumps raise on my skin when they fall down my face
and I remember
the night this summer
when I looked at you
looking at me
memorizing me
wondering how much of you
you left with me

and I wonder
didn't you leave it all?
