Farewell
Before I left, I saw the window flowerpot was empty
So I filled it with flowers from the backyard
Geranium flowers

Before I left, I saw the bookshelf was full of dust
So I left my short letter
Inside a book

My favourite tea cup, the faded wallpaper
Don't change things
Because they remind you of me

Just as you left the same things
In my heart

Before I left, I saw a butterfly perched in the doorway
I gazed at it, unable to pass

Before I left, an ant made its way up my foot
So I stopped, and I waved
Farewell

My favourite
Teacup, the damp hardwood
Don't change them
Before you know what they mean
Just as you left the same things
In my heart
