teachers do cry

I never really thought my favorite teachers ever cried. for me they were strong, bold and aggressive. Never did i think they ever had weak moments.

I dont know if there is some code for teachers never to show their tears. But i am glad they kept things that way.

Today, my student of three months, Yoon So Hee (Lisa) cancelled her class with me. She is one of my favorite students because she's always ready for a class.

about 10 minutes before my class with Lisa, my manager came to me to alter my schedule since according to her the parents are having problems keeping up with the payments for an ESL class.

This is my first teaching job. i have had students who cancelled for various reasons before- some were too busy to continue, some went off to study in other countries, and some had money problems too. Despite their absence i have been able to continue teaching the other students with out much problems.

But Lisa is different. she has grown on me. we have had many a class with funny and challenging moments. she likes being challenged and when i play real stupid she laughs and understands what im doing with her.. she still answers my questions and tries her best to compose good sentences.

i still called her today though. i called her to say good bye. i told her to continue studying English and to use what she learned from me for as long as she can. i told her good bye and take care and that i was sad to be calling her for the last time. she then said the most beautiful sentence she's ever uttered- "Thank You, teacher." i put down the phone and cried.

i sincerely hope i was able to impart the better part of me to her. i'll surely miss her.

Cheers to you Lisa!

wish on a tiara

trample on my heart, you do
a bad habit you're used to
pick my heart up, toy with it
a madman who wouldnt quit

round and round i spin for you
at the ready for your cue
pupetmaster hear me cry
enough now! let me just die!

how else would you know the truth?
you stole a portion of my youth

insufferable! insensitive! insignificant fool!
i, i who love and love so deeply
you treat as if a tool.

i wear a tiara to make me feel
at least once in life i can take the wheel

Stay

i want to bask in this moment with you
with time at a stand still and you so close to me
the world and all its nonsensical issues fade away
all i hear is your voice, your insights, your genius
long has it been since i found a more interesting being
and now that you're here, i've stopped craving for love
for what is love but an expectation?
It is nothing more than a desperate call to end loneliness
i dont love you- i feel more than love for you
i feel overwhelmed when you are around
my heart skips whole beats, my tongue goes on permanent vacation
there is nothing i want to do but stare into your deep brown eyes
would you cringe if i by impulse pull you to an embrace?
or would you be a dreamlover and let me burrow deeper?
I know for a fact you will not stay
the hour glass fills and i dread the day you walk out that door
in the short time we've been together
you have carved yourself into me
so much so that nota moment passes that you dont fill my mind
i crave, long, need you!
If its worth your while, would you stay? for me?
