Farewell...




Silently you came into my path 

unwelcomed though not unwanted! 

I never heard your footsteps approaching,

I never felt you joining me!


You Filled my paths with colorful blooms 

and my nights with vibrant dreams! 

Dreams of future! Dreams of peace! 

but I still couldn’t see you in them!


Only in presence could I feel you, 

never saw who you were.

Together we walked (at least I thought so!),

into that unknown path of my life!


Silently you left me there 

as the path led into the wilderness of loneliness.

I never felt that I was alone on my path, 

I didn't know that you left. 


There were your thoughts with me 

in every breath I took! 

I still felt that we were in the journey, 

I never heard you leaving!


Maybe you took another path, 

in the pursuit of your success, happiness! 

Maybe you moved ahead! 

But I never heard you leaving!


Neither did I hear you say ‘Goodbye’ 

And now when I turn back and look 

All I see along are my footprints, 

yours have stopped at some unknown turn!


I continue to walk on my path, 

my life - alone, towards some unknown Destiny! 

So, I bid farewell to you, from my thoughts 

from my dreams and from every breath that I take!


Farewell my love, farewell my dear! 

Wishing you all the joy in this world, 

I continue on my journey hoping our paths never meet! 

Farewell my friend, farewell forever!
