Anniversary

Yoshitomo Nara

It's coming to a year that I

stepped out of Level 23  

into a brave new world. 

Something then, told me I had to leave, 

but where do I go?

I am now 

somewhere 

but am I - there?

Leaving was probably not easy 

and it is harder when you have very great friends

 to say goodbye to. 

I count my blessings to still be in touch with 

the ones closest to heart 

- through this, through here.

In the past week, the very vibrant Ms. Sabun has left 

and I just learnt the Prof Cai will soon too.

Leaving is probably hard.

But I just found out that -

staying to watch the leaving 

isn't quite so easy either.
