22 Jan, when you went back home

two and a half years ago
you left to Australia
at the airport
four friends were in grief
crying
for it'd be difficult to meet again
but at that time
we knew that two years later we'd meet again
yes, it was us
wiping each others' tears
a glimpse of hope formed in our hearts
we'd be meeting no sooner or later
time flew
two years weren't that long

we could live through it

two long years passed
you told us you'd be back at the end of year
another half year of waiting
but nevermind
two long dark years had passed
another half of year was a piece of cake

half a year passed
you were back
nobody except me could go to see you arrive at the airport
the waiting for check in was long
but the moment we saw each other
we hugged tightly
finally
we met again
there weren't much time
we parted the moment i gave you my books

and since then till before you left again
we met again every week
we went shopping in queensbay
went swimming at karkar's
went to xinqi's
again
time flew faster than we thought
from 2 Jan to 22 Jan
you stayed in penang for only 21 days
we appreciate
cherish
valued every moment we had with you
for after this time
the next meeting seems faraway

22 Jan
again
i was the only one who could go
8am
i was at the airport one and a half hour before you arrived
i brought a book
the colossus crisis was the name
precipitating my thought
i waited for 9.30am to come

when a book was in my hand
time flew doubled its normal speed
you arrived
a smile was on my face when i saw her
both of us agreed not to cry this time on the phone last night
a brief hug
i helped to push their luggage to the counter for check in
she laughed
joked when she saw that the total weight didn't exceed 100kg

we sat at the McD at the airport
sharing a cup of hot Milo
finished
it was time for you to go
we hugged each other for the last time
tears rolling in your already red eyes

but they didn't fall down
we'd agreed
and surprisingly
i didn't cry too
i understood one thing
bright and shine i was
telling her that we still have msn and facebook
she nodded
one last look at each other
she left

sitting on rapid heading home
i'd thought of something
and i regretted thinking of it now
i haven't kept my promise to take her for a drive with me behind the wheel
i haven't kept my promise to cook something nice like my spaghetti for her

and i won't have the chance again until we meet again
and it struck me
my nose felt sour
but i didn't cry
i kept my promise

this time
we did take some photos
but there weren't many
being me
i like to take others' photos rather than others taking mine
it feels weird
but it's the best way for me to capture every moment
with me as the photographer
but this time
eyes as camera
everything i see
everything i feel
captured

i still remember what leechien told me last year
a quote in her novel
相遇是一种痛苦,因为接下来的是分离
分离是一种幸福,因为接下来的是相遇
this was part of the reason i didn't cry
leechien
thank you

i wanted to upload video from youtube
but oddly, i can't
maybe i'll upload it next time
these are the songs dedicated to our friendship
i liked the italic part the best
songs that are dedicated to our precious friendship
friends forever, my friends



遇到
你 身 上 专 属 的 陌 生 味 道


是 我 确 认 你 存 在 的 目 标

不 用 来 回 张 望 了

直 到 今 世 我 们 相 隔 著 一 个 街 角

这 么 久 了, 我 还 是 可 以 看 到

感 觉 得 到 你 对 我 的 重 要

不 会 被 天 黑 天 亮 打 扰

你 每 一 次 的 温 柔 我 都 想 炫 耀

我 们 绕 了 这 么 一 圈 才 遇 到

我 比 谁 都 更 明 白 你 的 重 要

这 么 久 了 我 就 决 定 了

决 定 了 你 的 手 我 握 了 不 会 放掉

我 们 绕 了 这 么 一 圈 才 遇 到

我 答 应 自 己 不 再 庸 人 自 扰

因 为 我 要 的 我 自 己 知 道

只 要 你 的 肩 膀 依 然 让 我 靠


谢谢爱
雨下好乱 半个夜晚 你不在身边怎麽晚安

天好蓝 要和你一起看

起风时有你来温暖

心事简单 一句说完

要我们永远不会分开

有眼泪 也因为你灿烂

你微笑因为我盛开

要谢谢爱 让你在我身边守护我的未来

有多少美丽奇蹟你手心里全都记载 好期待

要谢谢爱 让我学会宽容学会体谅关怀

像阳光陪著大海是平静还是澎湃都是爱
