Goodbye, Adios

Good byes are the worst to say

They aren’t my butter on bread

But I guess we had to do it this way

Its Adios time

And am going to make it truly worth the while

There were those wonderful times

That brought out the best of our different worlds

I am glad we could share

If not much then that bit

It may have been easy or not

But be sure we gave our best

Regrets will never feature in this very chapter

Of pages we flipped together

Laughter that cackled into the night

Filing the air with autumn freshness

Inhaling each other’s scent

Exhaling new beginnings

But still managing to suffice

Good byes are hard for me to say

But I bet its time to…

Wish you all the love you deserve

The longing that brings home to your eyes

Challenges are full stops in every sentence

All we did was learn to live with it

Was it good enough at that?

I wonder…

I have learnt to view things in blue light

To listen, to see what is not before me

The difference is in the feelings expressed

Action is an accompaniment that spices up words

Still I sing Adios

Am now aware that I may be heading in the dark

Am all alone

But someone is watching over me

Checking up on me lest I fall

Ensuring that this flower is properly watered lest it withers

Thank you for being you

Thank you for the lessons I learnt

Thank you for those bad days that made sure we talked over issues

Thank you for your patience and love

For understanding however hard it might have been

Thank you for everything

As you open your eyes wider

Stagger in water and tremors shake your being

Remember that I will offer a prayer for you

From the heart I wish you well

From the mind soar high in your dreams

Good bye dear lover

Good bye friend…
