Regretful farewell

Message dedicated to Miranda Szeto

Miranda Szeto,
Still remembering meeting her at first sight,
The atmosphere around her seemed air-tight
That interview, I would say, didnt go awful.

I could not dare take my eyes off from hers because
she has such overwhelming power when she speaks.

At the beginning, she never really had a glance at me
I felt so small within this PAD department, this whole company.

Trying harder and harder,
She really offered me opportunities.
It's not that she never looked at me,
The truth is I always avoided her.

Not until, one day I heard her complimented my performance in front of my supervisor.
She wanted me to extend my work period,
I thought "perhaps, she needed me"

From then I began to look at her directly in the eyes whenever I get a chance to.
At first pretending, and then getting used to talk to her confidently.

She has taught me the attitude towards work.
First impression: pony tail, neat, smile, simplicity, confidence
That is all I need.

Her reference letter is one of my key encouraging documents apart from the bible.

I always looked forward to see her again

I applied the same company again this year but to a different department.
I was just about to ready, to tell her the good news

However, it was all of a sudden.
Passed away because of cancer, the most painful one

That regretful pain,
I did not forget, until now.

She perhaps, not yet a proper friend
Somehow, in my life so far, she played an important role
I worked hard
I thought she could see me growing into a woman like her (or be better than her)

Was all too late
I never really expected such short noticed farewell

I wish I could see her again
If there would be another boss like her
so thoughtful, so kind, so tough

I miss her
I guess, no one would like this feeling, of being "left behind"

Exactly how I felt, right at this moment.

But she is really one of the nicest person I have ever seen...

She is gone.
Forever
