1. Burn at Itaewon: that night I sat by myself in a cigar bar getting drunk and listening to live jazz
Baby I think of you, I think of you 24/7
Your cheek and your lips and the way your eyes shaped like crescent moon when you smile Your hair flowing like tidal waveYour tiny fingers leaving marks on my skin And your velvet skin warms my fingertips I wonder how I have lived all those years before knowing the taste of your mouth or the lines of your body or the way your legs wrapping around mine Sweet stuttered breath stuck on the back of your throat Our names together make so much sense I stop questioning all the dissimilarities and start naming all the possibilities I want you, want you, want you like I who have been lost was given a map to a destination which I was destined to go through And I miss you, miss you, miss you like never before like all the kisses I had put on others’ mouths were lies and all the old touches were slippery like bare feet on ice like all the love poems were but eulogies for the end of fakeries and I mutter sweet love on my drunken lips not expecting it would be heard But you were there on the other line and you answered with a smile I didn’t know whatelse to say but the obvious
I miss you, I miss you so
2. Lost at Namsan: That afternoon when I was finding my way home and saw a hill
You might not be the first nor the last girl they'll ever had but you will be the only one they can never forget
I would always be the one they put in the back of their minds, recalled only when the fine line between memory and fantasy becomes blurryBut you will remember me and I will have you and just like them I can't promise you infinity and just like me you don't want to separate dream from realitySo come and sit down and if one day we are forced to think back let's meet in the virtuality where we made all our memoriesLet's think of how much we are not supposed to be and yet we are here
3. Still across Han gang: This moment as I sit by myself on a rooftop and thinking of you
4. [I left this blank in the original. I left this blank now. Seoul is over and so are us. Are you at least sad, baby?]
