The Last Goodbye

Your pleasant smile and a word or two

Brought us together, Me and You.

Some words of praise, some teasing words

Shined us up, struck some merry chords. 

Standing side by side, in times of pain

Under the same umbrella, during stormy rain. 

Picking us up, when we crumple down

Sweetening you up, when there seems to frown!

A promise made, to stand your ground,

In times of need; To keep you sound. 

A promise well made now seems a joke

A promise well broken; Tears evoke!

From sharing all thick and thin of ya life

To every small chat, becoming strife!

Often both were at fault, and seldom one

But ego stood firm, and rationalized none! 

And then spilled out, in the face of destiny

The faithlessness, that you carried towards me. 

And maybe that was the day, that I painfully learned

The more you heal others, the more you get burnt!

I, perhaps we, albeit tried to hold on

And the day seemed bright, as shown by the dawn. 

But alas, as twilight set in

Taught me, that holding on, is yet another sin!

I care for our relation more than my burns,

But I hurt myself in the process, as my heart discerns. 

Now I painfully hear my feet, walking away from thee

Merely like many other things, that ain't meant for me. 

I recognize that my Despondency wouldn't touch thou

And neither will you come back, to soothe me now. 

Yet after all these years, I still wait with a sigh,

For that Pleasant Smile of Yours, and A Last Goodbye...
