End Of An Era

Listening to: Petula Clark - Smile

Dennis pulled me to one side during mentoring yesterday and said. "I'm leaving - double meaning." Went down to Fullerton to take photos for and with the graduating YI mentors. And that was it.

'si's ah boy is leaving tomorrow; we'll end up eating ice-cream and watching tear-jerkers at her place soon enough, reticent, growing fat *sob*

bb is having problems with SI again. Has always had problems. And I thought after grad-ing she'd have been able to throw away all the angst and frustration. What's there left for me to do but to be there for her when she wants me to?

I feel my life is all in ochre or monochrome now... and those old songs are playing in the background while everything just goes past in slow-motion...

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrows
Smile, and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through,
For you...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be, ever so near
That's the time, you must keep on trying
Smile - what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just
Smile...
