The Hardest Thing To Say


I'd like to know the reason why,
There is, exists a sad goodbye,
Heart aches and eyes will cry,
Missing you is hard to get by.


My lips are tight and very dry,
Dreading to bid another goodbye,
No matter how hard I try and try,
I just can't say, I wonder why.


I look up high into the sky,
Trying to trace the route you fly,
Sudden thought comes gliding by,
You have to go, that's to comply.


Missing a sibling,
Balqis

*I dedicate this poem to my beloved sister who left for Manchester (again) yesterday morning. It's been 4 years that she plied between England and Malaysia.  She's the closest to me and saying goodbye is really the hardest thing to say. She used to tell me the beauty of the city she's staying at and other cities, too.  Other than that she talked about  the beautiful flowers that bloom in spring, summer that isn't as warm as here, what it looks like in  autumn  and one of  the unforgettable experiences, when her nose bled in winter. That was when she missed home here so much and thought of the warm tropical climate.

    Oh! Perhaps our hearts connected when you read my last post about my sisters. Distance strengthens the bond, keep in mind that she loves and misses you just as much as you do. ;') Smile mommy!

    @Ning - I had this entry posted yesterday and saw that you've a new post "tell me why". I said, what a coincidence! We're talking about the same thing - our sisters.

    Thanks a lot for your kind words. You're right! I believe absence will make the heart grow fonder! :)

    @Krislin - Yes. life is about meeting and departing. There are hard moments when saying goodbye is the hardest thing to say.

    Goodbyes are terrible. some of the hardest things I have ever done were say goodbyes.

    Beautiful poem!

    A beautiful poem. It applies just as much to situations where we miss somebody who is completely absent as the situation you describe.

    Best wishes to you,

    Casey
