Narrative My angel I remember that night The stars were shining bright I saw this angel who’s smile is bright as the stars in the sky We were in the annual New Year’s festival I tried to make eye contact with her, but no! I'm too shy I looked down for a few seconds, you were gone Disappeared in a flash Where have you gone?

14. I walked to every stand there was in the festival But there was no sight of you As I walked back home lonely and sad I saw the same angle standing in the steps of the apartment sitting by herself She looked lonely, so I said to myself “Talk to her you don’t want to lose her again.” So I did I offered dome of the cotton candy I had, she looked me in the eyes and smile The smile gave me chill! If only I could go back to that night But it was all in my dreams All I have to do is dream of that beautiful angle every night.
