Leaving |
| by Melvin Lee |
On a day like today,
a young lady arrived
at the airport,
with family
and friends.
Her heart was heavy,
and she was sad.
For she knew the time
has come to leave
this Heaven and
return to the
far lonely
world
elsewhere.
Unsettling feeling
in her heart,
a kind of longing
to stay back forever.
A kind of familiar loneliness
that she was acquainted with,
comes to her again.
And she sighed,
wistfully, forlornly,
hoping again hope,
to stay in this limbo
of joy and
belonging
forever.
'Oh no, I'm leaving again',
she murmured,
hot tears threatening
to well in her eyes.
Bravely, she forced
a smile at her
loved ones.
Without much of
a second look,
she bid them
farewell.
In the plane,
the girl sat,
with eyes closed,
reliving those
wonderful
and fond
memories
she left behind,
and those sweet voices
and carefree laughter
that accompanied
every single image
that went fleeting pass.
Unconsciously,
a faint smile ghosted at her mouth.
'I'll see them again soon.
Take care, my loved ones,
I'll be back.'
