I KNOW THAT Dan Nogawa is in Japan. But even if I will know his exact location or address in Japan, I could not afford to go visit him. Japan is an expensive place to go.

Dan is an acquaintance I met two Septembers ago. I know not much about him but I feel that he is my soul mate. I feel in love with him at first sight. There is something magical about the moment I met him there in my ENG 90 classroom. He sit beside me as ordered by our professor. He is at Xavier University for a brief and unofficial visit straight from his English language studies at Boston University, Massachusetts, USA.

I think I love him. I have written a poem entitled Dan Nogawa to help myself survive the certain pain I feel because of the idea of not seeing him anymore. My heart is all the more restless with the thought of not seeing him anymore.
I am scared.
Along with that feeling is the feeling of hope.
The Sakura tree reminds me of him, it makes me sad and happy altogether.

I miss you, Dan.
I hope that this message will reach Japan. Summer is near. Surf in Siargao.
Fulfill my wish
Make me smile
