Certified Poem Addict

Dedicated to my colleagues at YMCA. The poem was written after realizing that sometimes space is important in a bond in order to make it stronger, one just have to accept it notwithstanding the pain of living life apart. Besides, friendship is not just all about being together, it's all about being one at heart despite distance.

sadness fills me in
as nostalgia breathes the air
memories we all built together
came back to me all of a sudden

sweet laughter, bitter tears
it seems not like yesteryears
broken dreams, shattered promises
we never ceased in putting back the pieces

we aimed high
we reached far
but as the time passed by
we became distant as the star

i looked back
but you weren't there
i retraced the track
and found my own despair

as you were moving on
i was drifting away
as i was feeling alone
you were dancing in gay

yet i never stopped wishing
and never failed reminiscing
but the memories we created together
is now starting to quiver

as the agony struck my heart
as i watch our worlds being torn apart
the pain i bear became excruciating
yet i smiled and began accepting

everything changes and so are we
may you find peace and serenity
may the bliss be with you as you trudge your own journey
and may you remember me should again we see

so before i bade my silent goodbye
have me the final glimpse of your genuine smile
the happiness you gave me i cannot deny
i thank you even it was just for a while

so i packed my bags and readied to leave
my heart may be aching it may be in grieve
but life goes on and so must we
now i am ready to face my new story

goodbye to you my cherished angels
