Not a goodbye.

by arunima gautam   Jul 1, 2006


It only feels like yesterday, when you crossed my way through,
I was left enchanted beholding that sight of you.
And the seasons passed me by, like a fragrance so new,
Until I reach this time when I have to go.

No, it's not a goodbye, only a chapter closing in on us,
Don't know what comes by, I'm leaving all the things as such.
It's a silent farewell to all the dreams I weaved in you,
Still not a goodbye, the one from me to you.

In your eyes I see the sparkle of life,
In your smile I feel the dreams unwind.
You are my prayer- the solemn, beautiful one,
But now its time to move, this moment is over and done.

I am glad you are blessed to live the life you want to,
A silent witness I have been, a soul entwined into you.
But the picture won't change, it will if it's meant to be,
I can't pin my hopes on this hollow eternity.

My soul is numb; the heart is left empty,
How far would i go on just like this?
The world stood still of mine, while you moved on,
I was still in those pictures of the past; the time long gone.

It's a retreat of my world back into me,
No longer shall you might remain a part of my story.
But it's still not a goodbye for you live as my history,
The one who created my love, an allure of a mystery.

Still it's not a goodbye; it just could never be,
I am still deep into you, feeling the dreams inside of me.
Because there's a part that holds you close deep inside,
And as I walk away slowly into the mist of tomorrow- it's not a goodbye!!
