Farewell Tears

Why is it that whenever we leave our loved ones that our hearts become heavy and sometimes even tears are shed ?

Sometimes it's only for a weekend but the very thought of leaving or being away from my loved ones has brought tears to my eyes ... And I become like a child again ...
And I have often wondered why it is like this ...

When I look around, I see most people having difficulty bidding adieu to their friends or family, in varying degrees, some getting serious though smiling, others cracking jokes though deep inside sad, again others getting moist eyes, and others crying loudly or silently ...

What is it that makes us behave like this ... ?

Maybe there is a slight fear that we will not see each other again ... That this was the last time and we haven't said "BYE" properly ...
Maybe we haven't said all that we wanted to tell them ...
Maybe we just love them so much that something inside us aches badly...
Maybe we miss their presence and their impact on our lives ...
Maybe we hate to see them being lonely without us ...

Whatever our reaction when we say "Bye" ... we pray deep inside that we will be given a chance and we can meet again soon ...
