Sam Adams had two love at first sight
Experiences in his life

The first was with his college roommate
They move into a group house
Were best friends
For three years

Sam wanted her
As his lover
She did not feel
The same way

Sam had a secret dream lover
Dreamt of her every week
Went to the Peace Corps
To find her

After the Peace Corps
Sam worked for a year
Teaching ESL

He was preparing to return
To graduate school
When he met
The love of his life

She walked off
A bus
Into his life

He had written to his college sweet heart
Hoping that perhaps they would get together
He would change his plans
Return to the Bay Area
Go to a Bay Area graduate school
If only she would accept him

He met his wife
That date
He met his fate

He received the letter
From his ex-college sweetheart
She wanted him to come home
She said she was finally ready
To be with him
Perhaps even marry him

The letter arrived too late
If he had gotten it earlier
Perhaps he would have left
Korea
Never to meet his fate
That date
