Bye Bye

It's hard to say "bye bye" sometime. Even though I have never really lost a loved-one who I really close with or intimate with, I think the only person I remember I lost is my grandfather who lived with me since I was young.

Bye Bye

I was 12 years old when he passed away because of stroke. He lied in hospital for 10 days when I wasn't even allowed to enter the room to visit (because I was too young?). I wasn't really devastated. But knowing he gonna die soon just make me feel sad. I only cried when he was cremated.

Anyway, after that, few years back, a few uncles passed away because of liver cancer. My mom was devastated, really. Well, lost two brother within a year. That's just unbearable. But she went through that rain. Praying for the loss and let go. Putting it down can be so hard.

That just make me feel very lucky to have everyone and everything I love & care around me. And I vow to appreciate them more every single moment. Cause I'll never know when I have to say "Bye Bye!" to them. By then, I hope it won't be too hard.

I would like to dedicate the following clip to Sam Nasser and his family who has just lost his grandmother recently. Be Strong, Sam! My daily prayers will go out to you and your family!

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody,
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put you hand way up high
you will never say bye.
[No no no]
Momma's, daddy’s, sister’s, brother’s,
friends, and cousins.
This is for my people’s who lost their
Grandmothers
lift your head up to the sky
cause we will never say bye.

As a child, there were them times
I didn’t get it, but you kept me alive
I didn’t know
why you didn’t show up Sometimes
on Sunday mornings
And I missed you, but what we talked through
All them wrongful things, separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show it
Caused you loved me and obviously
There's so much more than to say
If you were with me today
face to face.

I never knew I can hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I can talk to you for a while
Wish your butterfly not to cry
As time goes bye

And as soon as you reached a better place
And still I’d give
The world to see your face
And I’m bragging next to you
Feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say
Bye, bye-bye..
Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye-bye-bye..

And you never got a chance to see
How good I’ve done
And you never got to see me
Back at number one
I wish that you was here to celebrate together
I wish that we can spend the holidays together
I remember when you use to tuck me in at night
Or the teddy bear u give me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong,
You make it through whatever
It's so hard to except the fact you gone forever

I never knew I can hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I can talk to you for a while
Wish your butterfly not to cry
As time goes by

And as soon as you reached a better place
And I’d still give
The world to see your face
And I’m bragging next to you
Feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say
Bye, bye-bye..
Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye- bye-bye-bye..

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody,
