Well it's time to say goodbye my friend
I'm glad you stayed until the end
I hope that you've enjoyed the time we spent
Though I know that I will be back again
I don't know just how soon my friend
Until we meet again just think of me
I'll think of you
I thought, here we go again, about time to say farewell to group of friends who will be leaving Japan soon.
Anyway, returning to Japan last 2008, my mindset (aside from work, of course) was to be more independent and not to develop nor establish friendship. I thought goodbye is always difficult to utter come separation time, basing from my previous experience. As you know, being an ex-pat / OFW, everything is temporary. You’ll never know if you will be renewed or when you will be terminated.
But I’m glad I didn’t follow that mindset. I met a lot of wonderful people here in Japan, most of them share the same passion, photography. Yes for giving me a chance to know them even for a short period of time. Actually it’s not really a “decision” on my part to be friends with them, it just came naturally.
Some of them are leaving Japan. Some already left. But all those memories will always be remembered.
