a.k.a. Filipino American Dream

I would hope a pleasant smile.
No, not at all in being with you.
Forgive me for my lack of effort.
Travel has made me weak.
Pleasant is otherwise an understatement.
In our degrees of latitude and longitude.
In preservation of patterns and lines.
Calling this day a holiday no matter.
Days and nights are insignificant.
In preparation to be with you.
Explanation is a distant kiss.
