DEPARTURE

I am counting down the days
Before I reach the end
I’d better prepare my way
Before I start to mend

I have three more sunrises
Three dawns to wake up to
Let’s hope for more surprises
So there will be no blues

But there’s this melancholy
Setting in like a mist
Makes the horizon blurry
There’s less chance to resist

As every second tick by
The sorrow gets deeper
I am not shocked knowing why
I must not be bitter

I have to fight this feeling
Or I’ll lose in regret
Let’s not keep this lingering
Just enjoy ‘til sunset

We’ll aim to feel good enough
A rare goal to attain
We have to make ourselves tough
To attract lesser pain

We’ll make a sweet memory
One with happy moments
Until I end my story
And all becomes silent

Make no more room for teardrops
Only allow laughter
Go all the way to the top
Next stop is forever
