it was a long journey

trying to make our way to yours

people gather

kin and stranger

who is who and who were they to you?

guess i'll only get this fragment

a portion of information of you

hearth-like food try to brighten up

the gathering's sad blue hearts

"now there's no one who will offer me coffee."

"no more, he wanted to fight no more."

these are the voices of your people

the ones you left behind

but you need not let yourself worry

no one ever blamed you for doing so

but then again no one wanted you to do so

they respect you, and love you

and all they want now

is for you to rest.

-A/N-

a distant relative passed away again.

i never really got to know him that well, but i could tell from the past few encounters

that he was an amazing grandad.

he was my dad's uncle, therefore my grandad's brother.

all i could hope is my two grandads could somehow meet in heaven and find genuine happiness.

i've had 3 grandfathers already who had said goodbye too soon,

before i could even show them how my life turned out.

for those of you who have also lost a loved one:
stay strong.

for that will be one of their request from us, when they say goodbye.
