Farewell

I look into your eyes

You who sit here in anticipation

The big dark eyes

Those, i've come to love, over time

The gleam is back in your eyes

The chirp, in your voice

Things I longed to see, longed to hear

Things i asked for you, everytime i prayed

However transitory..

But today

I have nothing to offer but superficial silence

Observing you, fluttering around

Smiling, after what seems to be eternity

As i hold myself from breaking it to you

Waiting for the right moment

There shall be none, i realise

In what went from disgust to inexplicable love

I found you, the extension of myself

Some five hundred miles past home

A book of fables, myths, mysteries 

Slyly disguised behind concrete professionalism

Waiting to lure me into a world i always knew, i belonged to

Your world

The world of chivalry, humility, beauty

Your wait has been tough Your journey, painful

I missed you no less, you've always known

And here i stand

At another cruel bend in the road

Waiting for my chance to say

I depart, never to return..

In the flow of things I blurt it out..

You have only one thing to ask

Where?

Some place too far to come back

Take care

The smile is transitory, yet warm

I have nothing to add

No apologies, no answers

I get up and turn around

Battling the pain, battling the guilt

As i walk away thinking

You should've been in my life, a bit longer
