Goodbyes

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow." 

- Juliet Capulet (Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare)

I had received a lot of goodbye mails a while ago. Many are coming back home to the Philippines for good. 


I envy them because they can celebrate Christmas in the Philippines. 


Suddenly, I felt sadness. Not because they are leaving. I don't know. Probably because goodbyes always are sad feelings. Sabi nga ni Juliet, parting is such a sweet sorrow.


In these two months that I have been living here, I got a chance to meet them and somehow be close to them, even for a short period of time. I wish them all a safe trip back home and a merry holidays in the Philippines.


Bon Voyage my friends! No "goodbyes", just "until we meet again".
