To bid farewell

a poem by Asha Sunil

We have to part and move away far
Our futures lie in different lanes
We can take with us these golden hours
Those smiles, those tears, the friendship unchanged
Emotions choke my broken heart
And draw blood in my eyes-not tears
Life would never be the same again
I’d always keep wishing you were here
So say goodbye and turn back not
For you may just find me torn and bleeding
Go away as fast as your legs take you
Go away- while I still have the mind to say ‘adieu’
