The Farewell Symphony

Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes.
A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetime,
is certain for those who are friends.
( Richard Bach )

Man’s feelings are always purest and most glowing
in the hour of meeting and of farewell.
( Jean Paul Richter )

How lucky I am to have something
that makes saying goodbye so hard.
( Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie )

Long long time ago
In a galaxy far far away

Seorang gadis
Menahan gejolak hati

Berdiri berhadapan

dengan

seorang
lelaki
yang sungguh gagah…

Keduanya tak mampu

Mengeluarkan kata
Maupun suara…
