Unasked Changes

Gone were the days I lived within you, mother,

There came a day where I had to start anew further

Gone was the day I cried my eyes out to enter school

There came a day where I cried bidding farewell to school

Gone were days when classes were our personal diner

Then came days when lectures just became sourer

Gone was the day when "friends forever" drifted apart

Then came a day when anonymous in life became a part

Gone were the days when parents said "grow up"

Then came a day when mother exclaimed, "Oh! My baby grew up soon"

Gone were the days of fear to sleep in a room alone

Then came days where it was fun to be forelone

Gone were the days when thoughts drifted to 'what my future holds'

But now, here I stand, facing my future, saying "bring it on!"

They said love is crazy,

Oh no! Life is more crazy!
