The
Story of How We Met
It
all began in Berkeley, California In the spring time of 1974
One
fateful afternoon I was dozing in my high school Physics class.
I
looked up and saw A tall, beautiful Asian women standing
looking at me.
I
screamed out, Who are you?
She
disappeared like she was beamed away from my dream.
I
knew that someday I would meet the girl In the dream
Little
did I know I would have to wait until 1982
Starting
that month I began having the same dream Month and month and
month.
Always
the same. She was saying something To me in a strange language.
Then
one day I had the dream and knew that she was in Korea.
So
I chose to go Korea In the Peace Corps,
Somehow
knowing That I would meet her there.
One
day I was in a foul mood. I had decided to give up on dating
Korean women, And on women in general
After
having had several relationships That did not go anywhere.
I
was thinking of returning to the States For Graduate school.
That
morning early in the morning I had the last of these dreams.
This
time I understood her. She said, "Don't worry. We'll meet
soon."
That
evening As I was getting off the bus To go to my class I saw
getting off the bus The girl in my dream.
It
was she! I was speechless. I did not know what to do.
Over
the course of the evening I ran into her several times. Finally
I was introduced to her.
I
muttered some lame excuse About wanting to find a Korean
tutor, and got her number.
The
next day she came to the gate of my base. Where I was teaching ESL
to Koreans
She
said that she had to speak with me. I told to wait in the library
for about an hour, and I would cancel class and meet her then.
We
went out for coffee. She told me that she was madly in love
with me
And
simply had to have me.
I
told her I felt the same way. I proposed five days later, And
got married one month later.
Does
she believe this story? She claims she does not believe it Because
it is impossible to be true.
But
I know that there are other worlds And other times.
In
a past life we must have been together somehow. And our love was
so strong That it crossed over the barrier of past lives.
She
found me in 1974, But it took until 1982 For us to actually
meet.
And
it has been 26 years Since we met in the physical sphere Or 37
years since the dream began
And
I still recall the dream And meeting her
I
had no choice When I met her
We
were fated to be together Until the end of this lifetime And
the next and the next
