Dear heart,
haven't you had enough
of traveling across the sky
come back again
beaten down
like a broken child?
Dear heart,
haven't you got tired of hoping
hit the lightning
only to find a corner
yet again
with no happy end?
Dear heart,
did you really think
that love is
the answer to your every prayer?
Dear heart,
if one should fall
should it be this hard
to get up?
Dear heart,
when letting go is not an option
why don't you hate
just to be angry at everything
and lose yourself in misery
until you feel like numb
uncharacteristically stoic?
Dear heart,
could you pretend to be asleep once again
and not notice the chain
just to have love stay
once again.. after the rain?
I don't want to make promise I can't fulfill. To remember you. To always be close.
Perhaps only few of us will stay in touch. Perhaps, as our hair turns gray, you and me will be lost in a haze of memory.
But while we still have the chance, I want to stay and hold your hands. Lay my head on your shoulder just like we often do. Drive our way to sunset.
Hours from now we will be parted. Each of us will be heading to different directions, reaching for different places.
And we will be okay.
Life has much to offer. And sometimes, it takes goodbye for a price.
Happy graduation day. Will be missing you. :)
note:
Perhaps I'm indeed good at romanticing situation. Quite number of people asking me if there's any special person I was refering through this post. Well, there were. For my good friends, Chemical Engineering Class of 2006.
These past couple days I got a chance to pretend to become a working lady. Go for work on 7 am then be back home before 6 pm.
