Goodbye

Pulling away from reality

Oh how I truly abhor spatiality

Being denied of my only request

Holding on to whatever’s left

 

I wasn’t prepared, I knew so well

Yet time not wait, it rang its bell.

So naturally was I led to wonder -

Did life expect me to be stronger?

 

To seek advice I went up to Sky

I asked of him to never lie

“I need the absolute truth,” I say

Desperate to find peace in dismay.

 

So what I needed to understand

Was how did Sky ever part from Land?

Didn’t it scar his heart and hers?

How did he cope with the hurt all these years?

 

The days when Sky turns grey and tears

“That’s when I miss her most, I fear.”

And when he remembers, the clouds will clear

It feels as though they were ever so near.

 

The hardest part of being friends

Is when the journey has to reach an end

So worry not of any goodbye

For the love of your friendship shall multiply

 

The time has come for our goodbye

Your tears were falling, but I refused to cry

Cause' we'll be together forever and never apart

Maybe in distance, but never in heart

This was written for the time when I had to say goodbye to the children in Cambodia during my charity trip there.

Oh I know the feeling of saying goodbye. ^^ It's hard. You will say to never cry but when you see their tears, oh dear, you are already crying a river before you even know it. :D This is well written. :D
