“Goodbye”

The first love song ever dedicated to me has quite the tragic gist. I was Grade 4 back then. I was being courted by a guy 2 years my senior. One day, he wrote me a beautiful love letter, which I endearingly brought home with me. You probably know where this is going to lead by now. So yes, my mom caught me reading the letter in my room and had to read it for herself. Realizing the “gravity” of the situation I was about to place myself into, my mom (and dad eventually) had to tell me to not even think about starting anything with this guy and that I have to ditch him, pronto. These solicited tears from my tiny heart, of course.  I didn’t understand why we can’t go through it. But I just had to accept the fact that “it was because I was still young.”

The next day, I told the guy that we cannot go through a relationship because of my parents’ disapproval. He was saddened by this. From here on, things got more rocky and the temperament of our feelings for each other died to a lull, mostly for me. All he could  do to reach out for me one more time  was to dedicate a song for me to let me know what he wants to tell me, finally.
