Turbulence Upon Departing (JOG to SIN)

I was surly half-awaking from an unsuccessful nap
On the passport on the briefcase on the suitcase in my lap.
At the sight of you I thought I had ten years of youth regained,
Though I now fear that is your age, and my own remains the same.
Though it's true that I've met other girls as beautiful as you,
I've never met one who looked exactly like you do.
In my experiences with beauty, you're novel, if not a first,
Which makes this language barrier seem taller, and the worse.
