there's love and then there's home

she meets
a man
who has a job in Singapore.
so she goes with
him.
it's what people do who
are first in love.
overwhelmed
by emotion.
she lives there for a week.
it's too hot.
the bugs.
the food.
the language.
she misses home.
she misses her cat and dog.
her lawn.
her friends.
but what about love,
the man says,
as she packs her bag.
she shrugs,
i know, but i have to go.
so long.
