I have been here before
And now I am back again...
Countless of times,
I have said this to myself...
I am sure you did too...
When someone comes along,
Someone is sure bound to go.
It is said to be a never ending cycle,
A cycle in which we all are part of,
The cycle of life.

I have met someone not so long ago,
Someone whom I thought is,
Ordinary,
Just like a passing notice...
Just like the soft breeze caressing one\'s skin...
But eventually, I was wrong.

Everything started with a smile,
Dazzling white pearls that go
beyond horizons,
For a smile so simple yet so powerful...
It moved me.

We became friends.
A smile was not probably enough
For you
and perhaps for me...
You surprised me with a question
Out of the blue,
A question so intriguing,
I cannot resist.

Had I resisted the question,
Things could have been different,
Different just like the sun and the moon high up above.

Being friends as we are,
Nothing more, nothing less.
That is what you probably think..
Or perhaps know...
However...
Meeting you...
Knowing you...

Seeing your sparkling smile,
Slowly made my heart skip a beat,
Until I realized one day,
It does not just beat once you are around,
Instead it jumps miles per second...
I knew what this is...
I have grown to like you,
Not just as a friend
But more than that.

All I thought...
All I knew...
Things could be great for me,
Your perfect smile,
Your charm,
I must admit,
Melts me like cheese,
Makes me feel a sudden sugar rush
Just like what a sweet, soft bavarian doughnut could
Or just like a hot caramel macchiato,
A caffeine to perk me up,
To make my day bright
Or perhaps complete.
But bright, glory days will not last long
For I found out that you are leaving.

I am sad,
I am disappointed,
Because just like others, you have to go
And leave me behind.

Honestly, I do not want you to leave.
I want you to stay
For I am just beginning,
To enjoy...
the feeling of anticipation in seeing your face,
your smile again...
the time you share with me everytime there's chance for a small talk...
this feeling I have for you...
But I think this is a sign...
A sign for me to let it go...
To let what I have for you go away.

This is it...
This is the time...

As I do this, I am also slowly letting you go...

I believe this is the right thing for me to do.
I have my reasons for doing this
And so are you for leaving.

I know I could have fought for you,
Or perhaps did something to be more close to you
And see what happens from there
But I chose not to...
It will just be painful.
And besides, maybe this is how its meant to be...
You have come into my life,
My life had been somehow filled with colors...
Now you have to go.

I did not regret meeting
Or even knowing you,
As a matter of fact, I am thankful...
For I know there are reasons,
Just like the saying,
There is a reason for everything.

I have said this to myself...
When someone comes along,
Someone is sure bound to go.
You are that someone
Who came into my life
Now who must leave...
