When She Passes by

I gaze behind the curtain

Draping at the windowpane

The rain is falling outside

And I see a woman standing at the roadside

As she moves, I watch her carefully

As she impatiently waits for a taxi

She waves at every PUV that pass

For half an hour one had stopped at last

Suddenly, I felt the loneliness

And to hold her was what I wished

But all I can do was to watched her

As she hops in and commanded the driver

The taxi moves from slow to fast

Until it was gone from my sight

Then I look again at the curtain

As it gently swayed by the wind

The rain had stopped falling

And so I went back to thinking

Dreaming that at this time tomorrow

She’ll pass again to ease my sorrow
