ADIEU

It is all over,

I need to go.

I know you can take care of yourself

Or should I say there are people who can take care of you.

I was just an addiction for you,

To give you company in times of loneliness,

To be a shoulder you could cry on,

To be a person you could talk to when you are alone.

Now, I know you don’t need me.

I know you will be hurt if I go away,

But nothing in this world is permanent.

You have to get over with this addiction.

You will always have people around you to take care of you,

And soon I will fade out from your life and your memory.

I know I have to walk my path alone,

Which I will definitely do,

Sometimes, I guess most of the time,

I enjoy this solitude.

I know you are not aware of my loneliness,

But I have no complaints against you.

It was my mistake to think everything in this world is permanent.

The happiness I was living in was just a moment and now it has passed,

Now the change has come in,

I once feared change

Until I saw the most beautiful butterfly

Has undergone metamorphosis.

May be this change is also for our betterment.

“In God’s good time we shall meet again my dear friend”
