Waitress' Diary 27 – One day

One day in September, while I am cleaning the bar and preparing for the night. Sky is still with a bit light, late summer dusk starts to arrive.

I stand outside the bar, look at the quiet garden; the garden which I love at the first sight.

After nearly 10-month waitress life, I realize it comes to an end. Of course I understand fully that’s how it would go, yet still feel reluctant. But one thing very practically interesting that I have learned in the bar is no matter how happy the moment is, there would always be an end.

We do not expect, therefore there would be surprise.

The music album which I play is the Verve, and by the time when I’m standing outside, it happens to play the song “One Day”. The verve is one of my most favourite band, my flatmate in the university played their Urban Hymns again and again while we all lived in that desperate cellar, and viewed Richard Ashcroft’s voice as our way to the outside world. I did not really understand it until this moment when I write this article, that it was not the underground space which separated me from connecting to the reality, just me chose to close, myself, in order to find the peace.

Today I listen to this very same song again while I stand in the yard; I finally feel what I wanted to feel so many years ago.

And all of a sudden, I realize it is time to go.
