Just a meter away from me during my 'Desperado' time...

Desperado...
Waiting since 8am... The line was long... Raindrops drizzled down and the skies were casts with grey...
Hui and I were excited, it was my 1st time, his 1st time too... We never had a chance like this before...
Masses of people formed a were moving like 1 huge snake, it broke up into smaller groups and every single one of us were 'labelled'.
For 2 solid hours we stood in the drizzle and braved minor winds, moving inches towards our target, it seemed forever to reach it... Haizz...
We're in!!! Up the escalators, "Level 6!!" I cried, the atmosphere was so cold, keeping us in reality was the nervousness and prestige of the event... We had to surrender all our documents, questions after questions... By this time it was already another 2 hours gone...
Confirmation letter, thats what we exchanged for our time... A letter....
In and out the oasis, we find ourselves frequenting the stalls and seemed to be getting very restless. Now, tired and fed-up, we tried to find ways to pass the time, it just doesn't want to move...
A whole 4 hours gone!!! Never felt worst in my life, we conversate among each other, found an aquantant - May, she thought I looked familiar, started the interrogations and made time look so bad... Time was definitely the enemy of every single one of us there, time was like hell...
But it wasn't so, there was only Hui, and a May... To make matters worst, we're less than halfway to our target... It doesn't seemed forever anymore, it's NEVER... The next half an hour was like another day, I didn't think I could go on anymore...
The producer annouced the next move - wait again!!! I was fuming mad, May started to smile and me and Hui, as if we're going to enjoy the wait... How am I going to go on? It was real bad... Hui's constant headaches were starting to get to me, he wanted to stop... "No! We've come this far..." I kept saying, even though I didn't want to go on...
"Erm, the rest of the contestants please listen. You'll have to come back tommorow~" announced the hateful producer with a 'gayish' voice and tone... "All of you have to queue up AGAIN to get your RE-SCHEDULED confirmation letter~" he squirmed happily, as though he's gonna enjoy what he's heared after his annoucement...
"This is what I get after waiting for 8 whole hours!!??" lamented a handful... "Yea.." I guessed... A sticker label as a souvenior and a letter... I still have 20 hours to my hopeful target after writing this... It's no fun but it pays, I hope... Now I'm just desperate for you, and desperate for my target... I'll be a desperado...

By this time I really had wished that you were here with me, holding my hands, telling me to hang on and you'll be there for me no matter what.
