If you want to leave, I will not stay

Parting poem

By Melanie M HooperPublished 3 years ago 6 min read

01.

If I am a cloud in the sky, then you are the wind in the forest. We have also met, but we are like two intersecting lines, traveling thousands of miles over the mountains to meet, but after the meeting gradually walk away and gradually no book.

The coming is natural, the going is inevitable, do their best, and go with the flow. The long road of life, but seek natural and natural, live every day of the rest of life, do not ask others to affirm, only wish to please themselves.

There is nothing wrong with meeting someone, there is nothing wrong with liking someone, and there is nothing wrong with not being able to forget someone. The wrong time is the wrong time, the wrong is the wrong time to meet, and let it become a lifetime of unforgettable regret.

The most unforeseen thing in this life is to meet, not knowing which glance is the beginning. In this life, most can not say goodbye, are parting, and do not know which glance is farewell.

It was September in the golden autumn, and the osmanthus was fragrant. The sky that day was very blue, just like the sea is fascinating. We met without warning, not a step earlier, not a step later. I happened to look up and met my eyes, catching me off guard and reflexively lowering my head again. The only silence in the room was the misplaced sound of flipping books.

Later, probably the number of encounters, we are slowly acquainted, but you do not remember my name. I don't know if I forgot to tell you, or if my name is that hard to remember. Just remember, at that time, every time you met me, you asked me what my name was.

Although you often chased me so I never told you. Then you stopped asking and gave me all sorts of strange nicknames.

02.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're getting into.

I have gained two things from that game, one is a company and the other is the reason.

The moment I stepped onto the track, I was a little nervous and worried that I would not be able to run fast enough to hold the whole team back. But you made me understand that my worries were completely superfluous, because with your company throughout the run, I let go of my worries and just charged forward. You let me know that I was not running alone.

The sound of the wind all the way, the shouting all the way, and the company all the way, made my confidence grow. Especially the smile in the sunlight gave me the power to sprint. It turned out that a simple run became so interesting because of you. That race, I reaped full of happiness and long-lasting companionship.

"When no one is helping you, you have to stand up straight by yourself, the road is still long, and your back has to be beautiful." This is another thing I gained from that game and my summary of that game.

At the end of that race, I walked off the track alone, towards the middle of the stadium, and did not stop. The moment I chose to step onto the track, I never thought I would need someone to help me at the finish. You can run the track, still afraid of not being able to get off the track?

I don't know where my love begins, but I'm in love with it; I don't know where it ends, but I'm in love with it. Perhaps it was love at first sight, and perhaps it was love over time. The last love is the person being chased, not the person going after.

The first thing I did was to say yes to you for no reason at all. It's not like I've never said no before, so what's the point of saying no to one more? It's not like I've never said no before.

Later I realized that you are not a rainbow from the sky, you are just passing through my world.

03.

The fact is that you are going to be able to come, I can't stop; you want to go, I can't stay. The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular items.

If you hadn't buried the word "life" at the beginning of the story, perhaps I wouldn't have hesitated to stay. Perhaps you've never thought about what will be left behind when you leave lightly.

If the waves listen to that, if the thoughts can stay in yesterday, in and out, also had prayed that you never appeared in my world. However, I can no longer change this, I want to forget you hard before you disappear. I was alone in the dark, tears could not be washed away miss, I still have no way to know, in the end, what made you give me a "death sentence".

Perhaps everything is just your whim, and my unthinking, to have the current result it. If you can turn back time, I hope we never meet again, and I hope you don't bother me with your whims. I can't afford to have my life tossed around by too many big winds and waves.

I have too many mysteries about you that I still can't solve. Of course, I no longer want to know the mystery now, it's time to let it all go.

The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular ones. After all, what's the use of staying when you've already decided to go?

The world has a kind of incomprehension, called since decided to go, and why see each other embrace? The world has a kind of heartache, called the loved one always pushes you to push. If you have decided to go, what is the point of embracing each other? If you are not in touch, why keep those useless things?

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for. I don't want to be anyone's second choice, and I don't want to be anyone's forced choice when there is no other choice.

Once, walking through the places we've been together, seeing the snacks you've bought me, meeting all the things related to you, all that comes to mind is you, but not anymore. From the moment you unceremoniously left, everything changed and became strange.

04.

Some landscapes are destined to be appreciated, but not collected; some people are only suitable for meeting, but not for holding hands. The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.

A lot of times, you can't let go of a person, not because of how perfect he is, but because he had appeared in your most beautiful years. It is difficult to forget, but will slowly forget, just like even if life is hard, we still have to move on.

If you want to get off early, please don't wake me up pretending to sleep, so I can pretend not to know that you have left and keep sleeping until the end. A door that is not willing to open for you, and keep knocking is not polite. When you have decided to go, there is no need for me to stay.

I knew from the beginning that I just happened to be there when you were alone and you just needed me. You never planned me into your future, from the time I met you I had lost everything. I knew from the beginning that I was just a visitor, after all, a visitor of no importance.

If you must go, I will never stay. I wish you well, may you love what you love, may you be happy, and may you be prosperous.
