FAREWELL—My Friends
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005The next poem below is dedicated to all my friends in SINGAPORE:
FAREWELL
Moving on and meeting new people.
Seems like the most interesting thing.
New buddies, new friends,
A whole new world to explore.
At first, i was overwhelmed,
All there was excitement,
Laughter, amazement and gladness,
For the final day in
Singapore is about to be uncovered.
But during the past few days, things changed.
Memories and good times of the past shone,
Clouded my minds as i thought of leaving
While all the emotions altogether brewed.
All of a sudden, tear-floods overflowed, unmanageable.
Rivers of crystalline tears mixed with sobs,
Reminiscing the past seemed to be hard.
To grasp the thought was unbearable.
"Why do I cry?” I asked.
I always wanted to leave, didn’t I?
"Can’t wait to get out of here" were my initial words
But why and why now are my questions.
Sadness creeps in and heart full of sorrow
As I sat with clouded eyes, still crying.
Nothing will be lost, I thought.
All’s well. I’ll look forward to tomorrow.
All of these are foolish things to say.
Foolish…fooling myself is what I’m doing.
All the friends that I’ve made
Cannot be replaced in any way.
Sure, new experiences will come.
But will these outshine the old ones?
Love and understanding have grown for many years.
Hard to comprehend why it’s all ending.
Life goes on, they say.
But now all I want is life to be as it is.
Joy fills my heart in this place.
Nothing more to ask for, I prayed.
Farewell…farewell…my final farewell.
In these last few days of woe and sorrow.
Tears mixed with laughter echoes in the halls
As the airport door closes behind me.
Dragging my feet,
Hanging there dying,
On the inside I am crying.
My life is leaving,
My heart is bleeding.
As if, it’s the end of the world
I looked up at the sky,
One last time.
And whispered,
Good-Bye.

Could someone rub my back for me, |
|
|
|
And tell me everythig will be ok? |
|
|
|
Could someone sit beside me and tell that, |
|
|
|
Everything will be OK? |
Friends….come and go in life….but some stay for a while leaving footprint along the way…I was born in Nepal and i grew up here in Singapore. It like a mother
<—–NEPAL who gave birth to me and somehow,
<—–SINGAPORE took care of me and watch me grow and now i am leaving for <—–AUSTRALIA
"I JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE I BELONG MAN!!! But hey, u guys always made me feel home and saved the day. "I am really grateful for what i have now…but "I AM LEAVING NOW MY FRIENDS", This really breaks my heart, but i guess most of the good things in life in NEVER meant to LAST. It’s a winding road for me to take this step and walk onto the road of the UNKNOWN but well….life still goes on. U guys have been there for me all these while and taught me so many things in life. One day perhaps i will be a grandfather, rocking on my chair under the stars telling my grandsons of tales about my wonderful friends in SINGAPORE.
THANK-YOU" But remember this my friends…no matter what or where i will be in life, u guys will always be in my HEART. *SOBBING*
"THANKYOU-ALL"
