No Adieu















It isn't easy for me to let go.
Believe me, I mean every word I say.
Forced by life, I've made a choice though,
Which makes it impossible for me to stay.

Maybe, I’ll move on to better places.
Yet, it will never feel the same as this.
New surroundings and different faces,
Everything about here, I shall truly miss.

But to the old ones and the new,
I’d say, that this world is small indeed.
So I will not, for now, be bidding adieu.
All you have to do is call me, whenever you need.

And do think of me once in a while.
Reminisce all the good times we’ve had.
If someday my memory, makes you smile,
Know, that somewhere, thinking of you, I’m just as glad.
