Goodbyes Aren’t Forever

At the airport as we stood

Waiting for the flight to arrive,

No more butterflies I could feel churning

But only the heart weeping and yearning!

And then somehow controlling my tears

From not revealing the truth,

I dared looking into his eyes

Which too seemed defying the cries!

He came to see me off

Yet dint want me to leave.

And I, I standing there in calm

Knew about the vigorous storms and sweat in my palm!

Every minute seemed like a second

Flying away in wild, out of control.

Intensifying my craving to stay more

As I hugged him tighter before leaving the door!

Yet, no options were in the wallet

Cause fate had its special games.

For different cities were our home

And the only constant connect was the phone!

But then he’s been a keeper all this while

Visiting my city every month,

Just to have that one single smile

Which made him travel even a mile!

You see, that’s the reason they say

Long distance relationships are hard to retain.

But only when the love is freaking strong

The huge kilometres seem to have some consoling charm.

For the heart knows, goodbyes aren’t forever

'Cause you’ll meet again, maybe sooner or later!
