The day I hoped would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on
Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I thought my life was over when we met
So little to remember, so much to forget
it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn
Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I'm a modest man
And it hurts me to say these things to you
But after all we've been through it's the least that I can do
So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long
And as for the light by which you see me leave it on
I'm a better man than I was before, knowing you has made me strong
and I think you are gonna miss me when I am gone
I'm a better man than I was before, knowing you has made me strong
and I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
This is the second finale that has put something on my mind, next to Friends, the first show I have ever watched. The ending is happy as expected. So I was a little suprised when I found some tears down my face, when the supplements playing on the screen, together with this song.
Farewell is not always very hard when we are old enough. Sometimes it's the only way to close, and to get a fresh start. But I know, deep in my heart, I always know that I can not put this series behind. It's not because of the detective plots not so complicated and the scenes not so hilarious. It's just because this man has been with me through the most hard working, also the most energetic 8 years of my life so far. His uniqueness, as he always claims, is both a gift and a curse. Whose is not? So sometimes I may be fed up with his obsessment and phebia of whatever, but I am never disconnected from him. His frustration and elation, his loneliness and friednship, his aspiration and disappoitment, feels so familiar as much as the pleasant surprise this series bring to me.His normal abnormality is part of what keeps me on the track of feeling comfortable to be who I am.
When the time to say goodbye approaches, I know even though I will not go back to watch his not so natural smaile, something of him has been left here in me.
Here I am a better person than I was, knowing he has made me strong.
