Fernando-- ABBA

 

--The Korean owner of the restaurant i use to work loved ABBA,
and Billy Joel, and John Lennon.
Kind of a strange combination.
"Fernando" was my favorite from ABBA.

I remember those days,
 i would listen to the songs until i can memorize all of them.
Even now when any of the songs pop up, i would be reminded the days i work there....
Staring at the lawn cross the street, I imagine that i would have a free Sunday to
walk around the street, with nothing to do...
That would be a luxury back then.

I liked one boy who always come in to eat.
His name was Adam.
The reason i liked him was because the way he moves.
He has long arms, long pale fingers. He would
stretch his arm out first, then put on the sleeve of his jacket.
I am sure he is a heartbreaker.

The reason a woman would fall in love with a man usually will be strange.
 Just like how Zwig wrote in his novel
" 24 hours in a woman's life".
She loved a man because how he moved his hands.
Adam has elegant movement, that's why i liked him.

I also remembered a handsome ABC boy named David.
He always like to talk to me.
He was so lovely, once trying to show me his well-exercised body.
I can smell the sunshine on him.

To like somebody in those days would lead to nothing in the end,
because i was waiting for him.
But it made the lonely days easier.
We joked around, laughed, cried, all of us waitress/student girls.
Think back, those were fun days.
