Once Upon a Heartbreak

Farewell

Farewell
Our time is up
Don't think, if you see tears in my eyes,
that it's sorrow.
It's just the biting winds blow.
Farewell
Don't think, if I hold your hand tight,
that I can't let go.
It's just the weather turning cold.
Farewell
Don't think, if I keep turning back,
that I can't walk away.
It's just I thought I heard someone call my name.
Farewell
The time is up
Keep this instant in the ocean of your mind,
Floating for an eternity.

I haven't felt such emotion in an age, and reading these words again reminded me of the time when I was reading Tang poetry, Buddhist texts, and head over heels. I'm so glad to leave that all behind.
