Fly Away by Corrinne MayWhen will you be home?" she asks as we watch the planes take offWe both know we have no clear answerto where my dreams may leadShe's watched me as I crawled and stumbledAs a child, she was my worldAnd now to let me go, I know she bleeds and yet she says to me
You can fly so highKeep your gaze upon the skyI'll be praying every step along the wayEven though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apartI love you too much to make you stayBaby fly awayYes that's about how i feel now, now that my mum left for NZ yesterday. (though the roles are reversed..haha) My bro and i helped her carry her luggage to the void deck, to wait for my aunt's car. And that's goodbye. I even messaged her before her boarding time, asking so many questions "Reach airport already? What u doing now? Shopping? etc" just to get some final assurances of her presence here in this country. I have never been without her for such a long period before. Everytime i come home from school, she will be there, a familiar, reliable presence. To think that there will be no one to welcome me back when i go back home today (well, at least still got my dog ^^) My dog was searching for her last night. She kept trotting about the house with that lemon face of hers. And i hit my lil sis last night too (but that's because she hit me first) but i was so darn guilty and gloomy, i couldnt sleep throughout the night. :( tired..
And i just found out from my lil sis that her band will go for an exchange programme to Australia when she is in sec 3 (that's 2 more years). That will mean every child in the family have been in band before, and have gone to Australia because of it. Well, except me. This only made me regret my past decision of not joining band. (but then even if i join my sec sch band, they wont be going Australia haha)
Enough regrets. Must concentrate on Prelims now. AHhhh.. (hmm wonder why these few posts are getting more and more negative.. darn this should be a blog of HOPE!)
