Third and last trip
2024.4.28
It was our third and final day trip.
We visited AI on The Great Ocean Road.
For the first time, you admired the scenery was great,
While standing at a cliff, looked down to the coast line.
The blue sky reflected on the water,
The waves splashed onto the rocks
Formed strong collisions then sprayed into the air.
I was so excite about climbing the light house's tower.
You disapproved the entrance fee had to be paid.
I lied to you about the payments.
We went up all the way, circulated the balcony.
The 360° views were uninterrupted.
From memory, there was around 136 steps,
On the way down, you showed me a video clip.
You filmed my legs climing up,
I was quite exhausted and in pain.
I never see the footage again.
On the way back, I confessed about the fees.
You were so upset, for the facts,
I paid the fees and lied to you.
I said if I was a dishonest person,
I would never mention and confess about it so soon.
I apologies for my decisions and actions.
I explained, I had to weigh out what was more important.
Being honest, the agreement,
Not making contrutions to the government,
Or missed the opportunity viewing the top panoramic view.
Soon, I realized, honesty was not the best policy.
I actually blew my next trip in the name of it.
BB, you were too harsh on me,
Were you always like this?
That was why on 2024.7.29,
I compared you with the Twelve Apostles.
Patiently and stubbornly,
Let the nature and life to pass you by.
It has been one year since,
I still remember how happy when you showed your grin.
And how your jaw dropped and your face sinked.
For as long as I can remember,
I never care and love myself.
I cared for you because I found myself in you.
And this was the first time
I thought I could love myself,
Then, you rejected me.
That was how cruelty one life could be.
You never heard because I never said,
I loved you BB.
Today, fifty two weeks later,
I travelled again, this time to AI Philip Island instead.
At the Stony Point pier, I met a couple,
They were going to French Island,
Where it was on the way to my original destination.
I thought that was excellent,
I went pass this island, but never dare to try.
So, it was an opportunity to do new thing.
There, I found twelve koalas,
One of them sat at the right high,
At my eye's level ready for me to cuddle.
I found them in brown, grey fur and even with baby.
BB always said he loved to see Australia native wild life,
In their own natural habitat.
BB you missed all that. Can you blame me?
