Farewell

So, my friend, let me ask you a question!

Or feel free to offer your suggestion!

In matters of the heart, do you use your heart or your brain?

Do you think it's selfless love or all about gain?

You may be wondering why I ask,

Or if this is some kind of a tricky task?

So let me assure you of something,

I'll clarify all of it, yes everything!

I have seen animals kiss,

Love transcending boundaries with ease!

For them, it does hardly matter,

So long there is a spark in the affair!

On the contrary, humans typically spend time in the calculation,

Even though they pretend none of it during flirtation!

Humans are masters of pretension,

Faking love is almost convention!

My friend, not sure if you agree,

You have been quiet, to a large degree!

The other day, you confessed,

It was never loving, you were just obsessed!

And I should treat you as a friend,

Which is what I am doing at the moment!

But I plan to release you forever,

As love hardly turns into friendship, never!

Yet, as far as love is concerned,

I'll adore you from afar, albeit not returned!

Farewell, my friend!

Farewell!
