Ohana

It's silly I know.
But I am sad for me,
and excited for you.
I knew life would keep on moving,
but I guess in the busy I assumed we stay.

Here you are going,
to another city, another dream,
exploring all the world can be.

Here I am staying,
wishing I could hold the time,
wondering why goodbyes happen at all.

I know it's silly.
Because I never expected us to stay,
We'd explore the world,
attempting our dreams,
Embracing the successes and the failures.
Somehow in the midst of waiting,
I thought we would just be together.

Busyness stole the hours,
Priorities shifting,
and new roles replacing the old.
I never realized how much I'd miss you.

I'm not ready to let go,
of that glimmer of what I always wanted,
but never could articulate.
I guess it's better to love,
to desire, to want,
than to hate, or never care at all.

It's silly, but that's okay.
Things are changing,
and we will never be the same.
Yet the excitement will roll,
and our dreams will unfold.
Until next time my sisters, my brothers, my dearest friends.

I love you.
