An emotional 20+++ year old, yes I am. I couldn't help hanging on to this song by Air Supply. When I heard it on Class95 last night, the heart suddenly got swollen and ached with an unknown sense of longing and long lost pain.
Pictures of a love-torn couple came to mind, no particular people in mind, but the pain stood there. I stopped in awe of how magical words and music can be, stringed together in a particular manner and it will remain in the hearts of many. Whether you are listening to the song as a first person or a third party, words of less than 100 can so effortlessly paint a thousand pictures for this song.
It made me pause and recount how fortunate I am that I am surrounded by love, that 'Goodbye' is simply a friendly gesture of bidding a friend farewell, knowing that I will see him/her again really soon.
Suddenly, the 'Goodbye' which I got from him six years ago did not tear apart a well-dressed wound. What was left behind is a numbed feeling. He was my first love, beautiful but gone wrong. We parted and went on separate ways, is he happier now? I am not sure, but I hope he is because I know I found someone whom I am comfortable to spend the rest of my life with. He would always be a part of me, tucked deep in the private section of my past.
Dear Bubu, till we meet again, I want you to know that I am happy and I hope you are too in whatever you do. Thank you for being so cruel six years ago, I see now that we wouldn't have worked out in the end. Goodbye.

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have much more
I can feel your heart and I simpathize
And I'll never criticize
All you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure i'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye
