Leaving
by Melvin Lee

On a day like today,a young lady arrived at the airport,
with family and friends.
Her heart was heavy,
and she was sad.
For she knew the time
has come to leave
this Heaven and
return to the
far lonely
world
elsewhere.

Unsettling feeling
in her heart,a kind of longing
to stay back forever.
A kind of familiar loneliness
that she was acquainted with,
comes to her again.

And she sighed,wistfully, forlornly,
hoping again hope,
to stay in this limboof joy and
belonging forever.'

Oh no, I'm leaving again',
she murmured,hot tears threatening
to well in her eyes.

Bravely, she forced a smile at her loved ones.
Without much ofa second look,
she bid them
farewell.

In the plane,the girl sat,with eyes closed,
reliving those wonderful and
fond memories
she left behind,
and those sweet voices
and carefree laughterthat accompanied
every single imagethat went fleeting pass.

Unconsciously,
a faint smile ghosted at her mouth.
'I'll see them again soon.
Take care, my loved ones,
I'll be back.
