Miles To Go To Say Goodbye
Life moves on, as ever
Life moves on, as ever
The faces of people change
Whom I meet, talk to, befriend
Hundreds came and went
Leaving good memories forever
Without a trace to see again
But it's part of life
A few remains for long
Sharing good and bad times
But there are times;
When there is no life left,
In the beautiful friendship
Even though how good it has been!
Words and deeds can turn it,
into nothing more than trash.
Even though the heart doesn’t want,
To end the relationship.
Issues are too hot to handle
Efforts to revive it go in vain.
Hopes of getting back the warmth,
Fades just like an evening sun.
There comes the thought of
Saying good-bye.
But a goodbye can’t take away
The feelings inside the heart!
It will remain there forever.
So maybe an unrelenting wait,
Or an unfettering effort to forget,
Whichever may be the path
walk through it slowly
walk through it slowly
As even if a full-stop is drawn
It doesn't mark the end of memories
It doesn't mark the end of memories
So there are miles to go
To say goodbye!
I wrote this poem some years back. It's not a goodbye. It's rather miles away from saying goodbye.
