I Deserve A Better Farewell



I hope you’d still call me one day,
When you mustered the courage to say the things you’ve been wanting to say.
I know you said nothing to talk about anymore,
I know you know we still have a whole lot more.
When the time comes,
I will know to listen and respect your boundaries.
I believe I deserve a better farewell.  
I pray that one day, we’ll still have to see each other
To disconnect from everything that happened
Or to connect and maybe start all over.
I hope that one day,
you’ll realize how much I care and love you.
I wish you’ll pour out and  release every pain,
every anguish your heart has been feeling.
I hope you disentangle from the waves of yesterday,
Rejuvenate and embrace the present
And enable all the senses for the sizzling tomorrows.
