A handkerchief-like meeting

The worst kind of encounter is the fish meeting
because meeting leaves a horrible fish smell.

The encounter one must be most careful with is the flower meeting
because when it blooms, it has wonderful fragrance,
but when it wilts, it is thrown away.

The most beautiful encounter is the handkerchief meeting
because when you exert yourself, the sweat is wiped away,
and when you're sad, the tears are wiped away.


I really like this phrase
A handkerchief-like meeting.
- Geokkbottahnamja (Boys over Flowers ep22)

I realise those two meetings above,
I've experienced it.
A meeting which I've tried really hard to get rid of- the evidence of that awful meeting
& a meeting which made me cry for months because of it's short-lived beauty.
And perhaps there is
A handkerchief-like meeting I've yet to face
But why do I get the feeling that
that handkerchief would, in the end, be myself.

But I wish for everyone, those whom I treasure,
to chance upon your handkerchief-like meeting
someone who would stand by you in times of trouble
someone who would be at your side when you're in tears
that someone who's your very own handkerchief.
