Theme: Nostalgic, Farewell


The rapid heartbeat

And the phrases

That came out of my lips

Appeared to go together.


I hope you can pick up

The hidden messages in my glances,

The secret writings

Beneath each respiration—


And the secret desires

In every step of my toes,

As difficult as that may be

To accept or express.


Emotions

Are already pouring

Into the space

Around us.


Saying goodbye was the hardest.

We talked; you moved on;

And I'm still here,

Waiting for you.


But when I saw you

Holding her,

T'was bittersweet

To see you happy.


And at that moment,

at that painful moment,

I knew

It was goodbye.
