A Beautiful Night in Tokyo
A friend kept me late on Valentine’s Day in Tokyo. We were at a sky rise bar, he was visiting from Brazil and really wanted to meet a lady. I just wanted to get home and rest. I was a good host and kept him company until the trains were about to end. At my station, I was walking down a narrow street, along canals with many beautiful trees.
A small bar with maybe 10 seats was glowing from outside. I was drawn to the the place, I stared for what seemed like an eternity inside. Just standing there, waiting, I didn’t know why. I had lived at this station for 5 years or so, I never stopped at this place. A lady outside the bar, she was on the phone, I hadn’t noticed her. She asked me to join her inside. I did. It was her birthday. The relationship lasted 7 years.
