Always With Me
With my will, but much against my heart,
We have to part.
My very dear,
Hark my heart with your heart, not your ears.

Should I use up my prime time without
Knowing where I am about?
I have to find a promised land
To flourish my future bright and grand.

Expression of my face may seem
Smiling and laughing, which I am keen.
But you know not my inner-mood;
Sadness of parting, which I brood.

Parting with you hurt me a lot, dear.
Get my little relief with sigh and tears.
Indeed, Parting will never come to me,
As you will always be present in absence with me.

This poem was composed for my closest friends just before I went overseas on August 18th 1991. I left them with a sad and heavy heart. We had had such a great times together. We were free of worries. But, we had so much dreams for our lives. I still remember this group of best friends as we scatter around the world.
