Goodbye is the new Hello!

Sometimes in life, there are many things we couldn't understand.
like, why the sun rises in the east and goes down in the west, or how the birds can fly.

Ok, maybe there are significant scientific explanation of those things.

but some things, like what's been running on my mind lately,
why should we meet, when in the end we have to say goodbye?

waving hands, wiping tears, and say goodbye is the hardest thing to do in life.
sometimes we just don't want to let go.

but the thing is, we won't know what we had, til it's gone,
the value of togetherness, the memories, won't be that precious if we don't have the chance to look back and recall.

I won't realize that i miss your stupid jokes, if i hear them everyday,
I won't realize how much i want to see your silly face, if i meet you everyday,
I won't realize such a great partner you are, if you never leave me alone dealing with my problems without you.

and the weird thing is I won't realize how much you mean to me, if you're not leaving.

sometimes i'm tired, being the one who stays, watching people come and go,
thinking that they'll have a new friends, new environments, new life.
but i just forget something, well so do I.
I just have to move on.

well well well, 
it's not that i'm not scared,
it's not that i'm ready,
but the thing is we're never ready to say goodbye,
we just have to.

maybe I won't find the best wingman in the world after you,
the one who's always on my side when i'm in trouble,
or the one who can cook as good as you,
best teammate to play basketball with,
the one who listen to the shit i say,
the one who hands me tissues when i cry,
maybe i won't find the one who can tell your best jokes that can make me rolling on the floor laughing,
or the one who rocks the dance floor like you do,

but it can be an excuse for us,
to just stop a while in our busy life,
when you're not here by my side,

to remember the day we used to hide in the back and smoke,
and the time we watch porn and laugh until we cry,
the day we cheated on the test and not getting caught,
the day you cut your hair wrong and we make fun of it,
the day we used to worry about the dress we wear to the club,
and how our make up didn't rock it,
our shoes didn't fit,
the day we were young and drunk,
the day we were high and dry,

the priceless moment we had, the things to remember, and to tell to our children,
of what we used to have together.

so, I guess, this time,
I'll stand in the same place again,
where i should wave and stay,
seeing all of you spread your wings,
and waiting for my time to come,

and one day, when we're all old and live our own life,
we will look back to today,
and we will understand,
it's not about how long we've known each other,
it's about the tears and laugh,
the joy and the pain we've been through together,
not the quantity of time, but the quality of time.

so that you know, you're precious to me, and you're irrepleacable,
and our journey's just begun,

I'll meet you one day,
when we're all old and wise enough,
to look back and laugh to the silly things we did,
to the time when my skirt's too short, and your tops shows too much boobs,
when your heel's too high, and my hair's a mess.

and by that time, we'll know,
the meanings of our tears today,
when we stand and see you leave with your oversized suitcase.

so CHEERS,
for the new starts, new beginning to our new life,
and by the time we said GOODBYE, we say HELLO to the future in front of us.

see you when I see you!

:)
