Theme: Valediction


The reality pierces my heart—

I do not want to let you go.

Why would your comfort vanish?

Now, who would make this cold soul thaw?


We once dreamed of meeting in the middle; 

both waving our hands and having stories to tell. 

Sad to say, you have to wait for me on the other end. 

For now, I have to bid you farewell. 


Resentment seethes into my complex—

I can't afford to reminisce without rue. 

I neglect to look back without you! 

I want to feign that you're not yet through. 

In retrospection, I console my grief.


Your euphoric image, which I find pensive,

and your thoughts that I ponder:

The memories I wish I could forever retrieve.


As much as I wanted to keep you here

until the sky fell down on me, 

the time had already reached us.

I cannot bewitch the clock that fled.

I now have to let you go.
