When I was little my parents told me
Bad things happen to good people
I never really understood that until
I was at your house
And I heard your dad hit you
Or when
My sister’s fiancé cancelled
The wedding
Because he saw his high school sweetheart
At Starbucks
Or when I heard my old best friend
Got hit by a car and died
Right after she left her volunteer job
At the shelter
But I finally understood
When I came home
And saw a note on the counter
Saying “I’m sorry”
And I saw drops of blood and tears
Heading towards the bathroom
I do not own this.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Because good people can grow from it.

People want to cry
But they don't even know why
People think outloud
Searching for meaning to their lives

People watch the stars
And ask why they are so far
People search for answers
But they got more questions

People like the sky
But they are living on the ground
People make mistakes
But they don't learn from them

People hate the others
While they smile to their direction
People failed to sleep
Until the day when they face up their fears
Today is the day
That you will leave this place
Fly to a wonderful journey
Thousand miles from home
Just like a million miles from me.

I saw you packing your things last night
Then you kissed my forehead
I cried silently and secretly
And for the first time in my life
I felt the bitter-sweet death.

Today is the day
Please hug me for the very last time
To feel your love and warmness
Put my freezing heart into fire
Hold me tight like there is no tomorrow.

Promise me to take care of yourself
And keep in touch whatever happens
And if you find another one
It is alright, just tell me right away
I have no rights to be with you at all
But I am hoping for the day,
to have a little space in your heart.

Today is the day**
To start your brand, new beginning
I will never, ever forget you
Just remember, I still love you
I'm still waiting for you to come back.
Its hard to let go of person you really love,
but all you can do is just wait for a good or an unfortunate outcome.

— The End —
