This March, a dear friend returned to her overseas university after spending a 3-month vacation here. I may never know how painfully sad she was feeling - perhaps an indescribable turmoil of feelings, or just a singularly strong emotion of anguish and despair. I may never know - so in this poem, I try to see through her eyes and soul, and perhaps, gain a different insight into leaving.
