Off to the country of dreams

Dedicated to them who are out of their country away from their family and beloved ones for abroad studies..

Dragging legs that feel heavier than stone,
He takes step that will take him away from his home,
To the place, he once dreamed to be,
To be somewhere he always wanted to be,
But now, that dream doesn't feels right,
When it came to leave the closeness of beloved ones behind,
Struggling between heart and mind's fight,
He makes his way towards the plane to catch his flight..

Holding heart heavier than his luggage,
He turns back to hold everything in his eyes in a single gaze,
Trying not to let those water spill from his eyes,
He bid his last goodbyes,
When he was wishing for the time to freeze,
That was the moment when the plane left the ground with an ease,
To the country of dreams,
Where the light of hope beams,
As the plane took the pace,
His heart begun to race,
Because he was leaving a piece of it here,
With bundles of feeling and no one to share..

Staring from the window,
Like nature has put on the new show,
Above the cloud so high,
He ask himself, is this right?
Turning the diary of his girl,
He smiles as he go through pages,
Remembering all the life's phases,
He wishes he could have stayed
While trying to hide the tears with the edge of the blanket he had,
He went through all the memories in his mind,
Like a cassette player has been put on rewind.

After hours of long journey,
He felt that it's finally coming to an end.
He looked down,
And he saw plane landing on the same ground,
at the place he took his flight,
his heart pumped and jumped in delight,
he ran through the door like a child,
saw his beloved ones outside,
but just when he ran to hug them,
reality came to open his eyes.
Wide awake now,
He found himself in a country he dont know,
And he realised,
It's not his home country,
but the country of his dreams.
