so you sailed away into a grey sky morning

i'm feeling nostalgic.

i miss the days at bpghs. the "lam-ming", the cabin classroom, the isp, the night studies etc... BUT i never dreamt that i'd be missing pj... (the first three months especially) well, it has been forecast ed by my "jedi master" when he replied that i'll miss the bonds and experience shared in pj. he said that i'd not be human if i don't, when i claimed not to. i really didn't then, but seeing a dance video on youtube really brought memories flooding back. it wasn't even my clan's performance, it's elkins' i believe.

the feeling was- bittersweet? maybe more bitter than sweet concerning some issues, like me subsequently getting retained, but still bittersweet nonetheless. i know that i told myself that i won't miss pj- really didn't like that place- i know that i'm very much better off where i'm at now but sometimes it's only human to wish that what you had is still here i guess. no matter how you resent something, the bonds and experience shared are invaluable.

nostalgia glows for joyous days now past,
when laughter sparkled like a lake in may,
forgotten as love ruptured youth so fast.

like the ripples of a stone that's cast
and skims, with smiles, 'til drowning far away,
nostalgia glows for joyous days now past.

there lived a day we savoured, 'til the last,
long hours we had to talk, or fight and play,
forgotten as love ruptured youth so fast.

as embers leave the fires of hope aghast,
then slowly break and ash before decay,
nostalgia glows for joyous days now past.

there lived a night when skies were full, and vast
with wonder-stars content to still or stray,
forgotten as love ruptured youth so fast.

we were shining, now we fade; outcast.
i'm sorry, friends, what more is there to say?
nostalgia glows for joyous days now past,
forgotten as love ruptured youth so fast.
