YUYAN'S.

It is a beautiful place. Very beautiful. A theme park or carnival of sorts. Different stalls lined the road I was on. They had cute little colourful flags on top of their tents. A huge white ferris wheel stood in front of me, rotating ever so slowly.

It was almost sunset, but not really sunset yet. I could still feel the sun's warmth on the side of my face. I don't know what I was standing there for. Waiting, maybe?

Then you appeared. Walking towards me with the little smile on your face you always have. I was happy to see you. I ran towards you, eager to pull you in for a hearty embrace and take in your scent fully with my breath.

But when I reached you, you didn't sweep me into your arms. Instead, I was held half an arm's length away from you and given a brief squeeze on the shoulders. Oh, right, I thought. I forgot. I returned you another brief squeeze.

What are you doing here at Disneyland? I asked. I wonder why that was Disneyland. Maybe because Disneyland's always filled me with wonder, and you did too.

I walk past here everyday, after school. you replied smiling. Again I didn't know what that meant. It didn't make sense, but nothing about you ever made sense to me.

We decided to take a seat. On a bench? Was it a bench? Yes I think it was a bench. You touched my hair. You smiled at me.

And suddenly I was filled with an enormous rush of longing. I wanted to touch your face.

I put my head on your shoulder. Took in your scent. Finally. You kissed me on the forehead. And I see the sunset.

Then I knew - there was no other place else for me.
