Leaving blues

Here it is, the much anticipated "end-of-era" depression...

I'm trying my best to stay cool and hopelessly failing.
I don't want to go back and I don't want to leave here.

Here are some naive verses that came to my mind yesterday (while I was crying at a EB's) :
Welcomed me with a smile,
Saw me off with a tear.
You can't go all that far,
My heart is pretty near.
Until we meet again,
As we are bound to do,
I shall treasure the time
I got to spend with you.

OK, they're not that great (I've done much better... much worse too, though ^^'), but it's been ages I haven't written anything T_T

Thank you EB. For everything.

I find it really touching.

It is strange how inspiration come with sorrow, isn't it ?

So perhaps it's good I didn't write anything since a long time ago ^_^

the time you passed in Japan will become a little sun in your heart, a treasure to look at and hold in your hand in winter in front of a fireplace ^_^
Keep it safe !

And I send you a big smile, packaged with memories of IGAM ^_^

Thanks for the kind comment. It helps to be remembered not everyone outside Japan hates me ;)

These verses could be naive, they stay frank and are expressing your feelings. Nothing to be ashamed for. (you know that only a few people can read mines, but that's not the topic ^^')

Don't say it's a farewell. I'm pretty sure it's not. Maybe you'll be back in Japan earlier than you thought. And I won't say anything more because Lyr said it in a very nice way.

@Lyr: it's a bit annoying to be able to write only when you're depressed T_T but I recognize that the most beautiful things are (too?) often sad...

Yeah, I totally agree...

Hum, there are beauty too in joice, but it is really harder to make it appear without sounding naive, akward or simplist.

It is simpler to draw beauty out of sadness, nearly all people can do it.

But being a true artist is needed to do the same from happyness. And it is propably easier with painting than with word, because words are ... a little not very well cut to describe happyness.

Do you agree ?

Re: Lyr
I do not agree... but I have so many things to say I decided to make it a new post XD

as always I just have only noticed a detail... "end-of-era" like the penultiem album of nighwish :)

I used to say that "toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin"...

The Nightwish reference was not deliberate ^^'

Good news is : bad things end too ;)

The very few days before departing truly are the most heart-wrenching ones; you have my full sympathy here (even though I doubt this would comfort you as much as I would like to :-/)

I shall treasure the time
I got to spend with you.
These are my favourite verses from your short poem; they're so true it hurts.

I dread this kind of "wait and anticipate bad things" periods more than the bad things themselves ^^'

I'm glad you liked my verses. No matter how naive they are, they still came from my heart. ^x^
