A Bird That I Loved Poem by Khairul Ahsan

I once loved a lonely bird
Who used to sing for me,
Sometimes sitting right in front,
And sometimes sitting on a distant tree.

One day the bird found a mate
And they both flew away to the Eastern sky.
I knew for sure that they went for ever,
Yet I sometimes look around with a sigh.

I still hear her songs in hallucinations,
I still anxiously wait to see her once.
But the bird that once flies away
I know for sure she rarely returns.
