leaving us incomplete


it flew it really did
time really did.
it seemed like only recently that I got to know dong lao shi
to know more about her
realise what a nice friend and coach she can be.

then there were those memories
those outings when our faces only had the capacity to smilei really enjoyed those moments
i bet we all did.

although i only knew her for such a short period of time
those were the times when i worked really hard for something
when i needed her help and she was there for me
when i was tired and down she was there to console me
how come i had so much emotions today
at that moment when she told us to leave
when i knew that was really it
there was barely much chance i would see her in person again
those tears just welled up in my eyes
and they wouldn't stop.

i told myself a thousand times before today that i don't want to cry and i won't cry
but somehow i couldn't control those strong sense of sadness that overwhelmed me
somehow i felt like gym is no longer complete
she was the one that brought all of us up
saw us train and brought us to a higher level

those last goodbyes as she walked through that door to the departure halls
how i wished i could run to her and hug her
tell her not to go
but we could only watch from afar
we could only stand behind that tree that barely covered us
and let her go.

somehow i knew today would be a difficult day to get through.
