Your Goodbye!

As you take off to fly high in the sky,

And you bid me a sweet good-bye,

On both our faces we have smiles,

You’ll fly so high, so many miles.

I’m so glad; your dreams came true,

All your efforts have got you through!

You’ve lived for this; you’d die for it,

Of this success, you deserve every bit!

So far, so good; all is better said than done,

You’ve gone away from me, and it’s no fun!

No doubts you’ve achieved your goal,

But my life seems to be in a black-hole!

I feel the cool breeze go cold-hearted,

Getting too strong to be pleasant,

It’s turning wild and hurting me,

As if the skies are punishing me.

I am in a dilemma; happy as well as sad,

I’m unable to decide- is it good or bad?

You’ve got the right path, which you must follow,

I know it for a fact, but my heart feels hollow!

You had to go, and now you’re gone,

But I’m still here, and I’m all alone,

You know how strongly I love you,

And so how much I’ll miss you.

And from the high skies, on this earth when you dive,

After coming back, I hope you find me alive,

Tired of the pain, my soul needs some rest,

But for all your endeavours, I wish you ‘All the Best’.
