Poem #3: A Different Goodbye

I can't remember how long I've been working on this or 
how many drafts I have discarded for I kept feeling it's not good enough.

It's been a while since I've sat in front of my laptop for hours,
Given that it is only weekends that I can do this.

Here's another one after a long long time.

A Different Goodbye

I believe that each goodbye has a sentiment of their own. 

It doesn't necessarily have to be another sad ending.

Yes, things will change.

But how bad can it be, right? 

Okay I take that back.

I know it's hard not to miss them when they're gone,

As you sometimes recall the memories when you're alone. 

Names that once so familiar to you, 
Sounds foreign after a change of view.

Just like waves splash against the shores, 
Pulling every pellet of sand with all their might. 
Same goes to our memory, 
In time, we forget those memories kept at a corner of our minds. 

Goodbyes are never an easy thing, 

It makes my heart sting, 

With everything that's going, 

Try to count it as a blessing. 

I'm sure those who left would want you to be happy too. 


Take care until we meet again.

Love, Sara
