Dark are the skies above, embedded with many a star,
Shining through etches of memory,
Remind me, of the beauty of night,
For long has been the road.
We stand, upon the brink of farewell,
Look each other in the eye,
‘Goodbye’ we tell each other,
and slowly yet drift away.
I reminiscence of times together,
Remember our laughter, and our tears,
Touch each other in essentia,
The road long, now divides.
Slowly you move away,
Here I stand, with a longing gaze,
Little does the time together feel,
For there is much we had to say.
A kinship we now share,
One without words or letters,
Beautiful it may be, slowly it will fade,
To leave behind a hole.
A hole to see through,
Into the tainted glass of time,
Remembering fun, joy, and mirth,
For the time we spent together.
There you stood, in the sunlight,
A home in all it’s splendour,
Deserted now though you may be,
Time may not ravage the beauty you have been.
We move together to a destination,
Different roads, with different strengths,
Yet where we stand, we cannot forget each other,
And once we may stand to remember another.
Indescribable is this bond,
For too many words, do it not justice,
Aglow, complete, sorrow and joy,
And the night now, is even more beautiful.
There have been rifts and resentments,
We have cried, fought, dismissed,
But comfort we have seen in that too,
And grown, into the time to come,
For all this; I thank you,
And all you’ve done is an unbreakable treasure,
Keep us in your mind, for none can take us from there,
And in the end, the only befitting words,
To transport you, to the sea of emotions,
Goodbye…Friend.
