Say Good-bye

With each and everyday that passes by,
I wonder with hope and fear.
If you see the sadness in these eyes,
down my cheek, tear by tear.

Around you I built my life, my whole world,
Didn't notice my lips, slowly as it curled.
My city didn't fall, you just moved away,
waiting for you to come back..day after..day..

As I look at her across the road,
As we stand 2 worlds apart.
Sensation of separation,
shattered like a broken glass.

So as the Olympics start,
protesters say "Free Tibet".
The scar I left on your heart,
That 'K' stood for Khiet.
