her curly-wavy hair
have you spotted someone on the streets and thought you knew the person or better you thought it
was someone you know and haven’t seen?
If it’s the latter, wouldn’t it be great if that person recognises you back?
What if the person you thought that was…hhhmmm… say is not here anymore… would you be sad?!
as i cross the busy streets of the city.. i walked past people wearing the same clothes as i am. Those business clothes with a black trench coat, with black hand bag and black umbrella.
i wouldn’t recognise them if it wasn’t for their hair. i guess winter makes people look a like. 
at a far distance, not too far from from where i am, i saw a lady walking.she’s walking towards me and she was smiling. she’s wearing this love pink shirt and white pants. she seems to be in her 20’s.. not sure though. the only colour you can see amidst the herd of black-wearing-coat people
she had this gracefullness that any woman should envy. she walked so gracefully, with a bright smile and an eye-stopper curly-wavy, dark brown hair that bounces so perfectly off her shoulders.
at first, i didnt know if she was smiling at me or someone behind me.
i looked behind and no one there.. so i guess she was smiling at me.
as she came closer and closer, my heart started racing. i was nervous-excited.
i felt that i really know her… and i felt this longingness towards her. like i miss her or something.
i know she looks familiar.
i know i’ve seen her before.
i know i’ve had lunch with her
but i just couldn’t remember exactly
it’s like those tip of the tongue moment.. where you know but you can’t remember?
the wind was blowing so hard and my hair is just all over my face and keeps on sticking on my glossy-lips.
tried to pull the hair off my face and wipe the lip gloss off my cheeks
as i came closer..
everything began to be in slow motion..
pulled my hair off my face, held my coat in slow motion, moved my head trying to fight the wind (in slow motion).. get the picture?
i blinked and she was gone.
looked around, behind, to my left, to my right…. no sight of her.
the wind stopped and cars are still passing by, people are still crossing the street.. but no sight of her.
with thoughts of her still in my head, i carry on walking.
as i’ve reached the lights, i looked back, still try to spot her.. hoping to spot her then i smiled. *ting*
i remember now. 
i know where i met her
i know who she was
i’ve spent time with her
i’ve had dinner, lunch, breakfast with her
i even had couple of fights with her
tears started to flow on my face
i closed my eyes and tried to remember my moments with her.
she was so pretty.
then i opened my eyes…it was my mum and i was dreaming.
woke up with a smile on my face. i dreamt of her.. that’s all i can think of.. i dreamt of her!!
