Đoàn Hồng Nghĩa: A moment of lasting

A last moment with friends
Just a short moment lasting
Such surge of feelings and memories
Never, ever known
That being loved is the best of all
Friends, I will miss all
By the day when begone
Within there is no tear
No fear
Not such a shed of salted water
From eyes
Within I am sober
Looking into my own soul
To hear
Parting is missing
Wishing is short of wanting
Short of loving
Wishing just when you are out
Of anything
I leave you here
Out of reach
Out of beers
Out of whatever we used to have
I leave you here
Just now
For a moment that will last
To try our trust
To try our love
Saigon, 23/01/2015
