So Long My Love, Goodbye.

When you're at the end, you tend to remember how it all began.

We met at Smith St. Through the window pane of the Quiksilver store, I saw her and was immediately captivated.

"Would you believe in a love at first sight?"
"Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time."

We had a great relationship. Got off on the wrong foot at first, but as time goes on we grew on each other and we could not be separated. We went through it all together, thick and thin, not one moment apart. We travelled together, went to all four corners of Australia and even hopped on a plane to see the fabled land of New Zealand.

I remembered the first time I went back home for her to meet my parents. My parents didn't seem to notice her though, just a passing remark. It hurts. But it did not matter as our love grew stronger each passing day. We don't need anyone else, we have each other.

Sayang selasih hamba lurutkan,
Buang emak buang saudara,
Kerana kasih hamba turutkan.

All good things must come to an end.

Her situation got worse this year. Especially when it rains. She would get soaked to the bone. It would take days for her to recover and be her normal self. We knew we were only delaying the inevitable. I knew I had to do the right thing.

It's not fair when life throws you a curveball like this. I hate saying goodbyes, even more so to the ones I love. Especially to her. Not her. Please, not her. It's all just a matter of time. But I wouldn't want her to suffer anymore.

I have to admit. It was hard and painful to let go. But you have to move on. Life goes on.

Goodbye leggy blonde. It's been nice knowing you. The gaping hole on your sole is making my socks wet whenever it rains. If it comforts you, I would like you to know that it is not an easy decision for me to make. I would always remember you. (cue Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You)
