goodbyes

It’s bitter sweet to let go

For it’s hard to move on;

But farewells are not the end

They only serve as new beginnings

Seeing someone leave

Always makes me think

Realizing what I have, what I lost

And what I took for granted.

I reminisce the memories

And the moments that passed by

Knowing that they will remain as memories:

Never to happen again.

The sad part of it all

Is the message it conveys

That people can only be appreciated

Only when they are gone. Oct 3 ‘04
