The Gentle Passing of an Era

Even though I already had an inkling of our impending parting of ways, I could never ever prepare for that day to come. And what a moment that was. It came without a warning. I thought I could handle it well. No one could ever possibly prepare for the reality of the inevitable. All the bravado that I could muster was for naught because the mere thought that you wouldn’t be there anymore was much too painful to bear.    

Most spectacular beachfront in Alona

I tried hard not to bawl over but despite all the bravado, the tears still fell. How can I possibly forget you? I will forever miss the graceful swaying of your palm trees and the sea breeze that caress my tired and weary soul. Will I ever get another glimpse of those glittering diamonds strewn across the skies on those warm & balmy nights? I’m already missing those wild nocturnal skinny dips at your crystal clear waters.

Thank you for the gentle waves that lap at my feet while traipsing along the shores. Most of all, thank you for the opportunity to meet all those people who peopled the place.  As we part ways, we would be left with nothing but fond memories that are now firmly etched in our hearts and can only be relived and recalled not only in photographs, dreams, reminiscences and recollections but also in our hearts. 

And so it was with reluctance and a heavy heart that I packed up everything, said the proper goodbyes and just before I left you, I took one last look at the place that I had learned to love hoping to keep everything intact in my memory bank and just like that, we zoomed away.

You will be sorely missed.
