goodbye summer

-
written on October 8, 2021


i remember when we first met

the hallway we stood for detention 

i don’t know why it was so much fun 

that the hallway no longer felt daunting 

and it became 

my favourite memory of us both 


since that day 

we were always together 

you know me better than i know myself 

as best friends not lovers


you cried so much on graduation day 

knowing that we will part our ways

our farewell was something i knew 

but a reality that i didn’t want to face 

because i knew then 

darkness will loom over 

when the sunshine of my life 

leaves me behind 


and time was flying so fast 

as if it envies my love for you 

we’re left with one more day 

to visit places we called ours 

to walk the path of memories 


with each second, 

i wish and i wish

for one more sunset together 

for one more look at the flickering summer sea 

for one more night at the glittering night sky

just one more time 



and just a little too fast 

it was our last

and my heart felt heavy

filled with words i want to say


i should’ve asked for you to stay

i should’ve told you i liked you

i should’ve took the chance 



but i knew i shouldn’t 

for we have our dreams to chase after

for we have our own path to pave 


so all i could say was “goodbye, summer”

as we watch the sky turn purple and blue 


---


dear you,

i’m sorry 

i had to put an ending to our story

the one we didn’t even start


this will be 

a secret you will never know 

and i could never tell

Two Seconds

It was a hunch, that took two seconds. I thought I saw you, A little different from what I remember, But it felt like this was it. I doubted myself, Thinking that it might just be you, Just when I least expect it. The two seconds felt like a lifetime, The moment your eyes locked on mine. For two seconds, I was caught off guard, For thinking that this is how we would see each other again. When the time was up, I broke the connection and returned to my phone. While ‘you’ head the other direction. There and then I thought – silly me For thinking that either of us would’ve done something, Given that it’s been three long years since we last saw each other. As if anything would happen in the first place. Two seconds was all it took – For that thought to vanish, and we return to being strangers again, Walking our own separate paths. Even though it wasn’t you A sudden thought came to my mind – Why is it that I feel this way, Is this some kind of affect...

2 weeks of classes are done and tomorrow is the start of the third week.   I felt like a huge burden has been lifted up (not completely) once last week was over.  From being at the booth to promote the event and ensuring all the venues for my station games has been booked to finalizing the trial run this recent Saturday.  And not to mention having one report to hand in this coming Tuesday without knowing what to write for the discussion as we did not get the results according to the theories.  Almost forgotten to mention of another drama assignment where it is going to be a musical kinda thing with regards to the Principles of Biotechnology subject.  Yeah, that was the summary of my week 2 in the last semester of my second year.   As for the third week, it is finally the Interaction Day which is the event that I have been planning ever since December.  May all goes well and yours truly is excited to be the photogr...
