destined departure

i'm leaving.

tears no longer form in my eyes
and it's a surprise,
because you are my air.

you are the reason i exist, i live, i breathe
thrice before have i endured much pain, yet now
i refuse to grieve.

you see, we are trapped, and cannot escape,
dealing with the whole lot is hell; this is what
we call fate.

the distance between us may as well be galaxies apart
but you have the one thing that is essential to life: my heart.
every summer, you are the best gift i could get,
i escape from the world i live in, through our being together,
and our tete a tete.

i wear my heart on my sleeve, but you are not the same,
nevertheless it's easy to see you care with every encounter; two can play this game.
i've changed so much, and so have you, i'm no longer an emotional dame,
it is because of that our relationship has progressed, unlike previous years where our reality was maimed.

you are more than i deserve and i know that for a fact,
promise never to change around me again, make me an undying pact.
i can't bear to leave but it's destined, this parting is not rare,
i'm going again to live halfway around the world,
yet somehow, with me, you're always there.

until next time.
