hello goodbye

many farewells this summer. some short, some long, some quick, some drawn, some lost, some longed, some missed, some torn

and others, others silenced. silenced silence, silent silence

tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
oh and i rush to the start

it was not a breeze to attend the funeral of someone so young. it brought back many sad memories.

"all of you must cry out to jiahao, the louder you call him to come home, the sooner he will"

"jiahao, hui jia, hui jia"

the chorus of voices was almost too much to bear. and alone at an empty table there was nothing to distract me from the tearing faces and tearing hearts. i bit my lip and clenched my fists and i did not know him personally and my heart was broken for all the broken hearts around me,

and all came to naught anyway because i cried alone on the bus.

nobody said it was easy
oh its such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
no one ever said that it would be this hard
:the scientist - coldplay

hush now my dear, hush now and sleep
hush now my fear, hush now and sleep
hush now my tear, hush now and sleep
hush now, hush now

row, row, row your boat - gently
down the stream
merrily, merrily
merrily
merrily
(life is but a dream)
