Tacit….

To the dreams and aspirations that I let go,
Today I am thinking of you , moving past my living room ,to and fro !!

I can see you sinking inside me,
You’re a part of me, deep down inside
I can see you fading out, just like the morning fog.
And now I see your pleading eyes ,
Asking me questions, begging to make you arise.
I am sorry, it can’t happen,
Now it’s time for us to part ways;
I know it’s my fault, it’s my greed , it’s only me.
But I promise to keep a part of you alive,
Like a blinking bulb, like the water on the edge of leaves shining,
Remembering those golden days,
Ah! Those golden days.
Once you were all of me, now I am none of you,
You are free to go , but sadly without me you can’t even row.
You will learn some day ,learn to live, learn to stick to someone as you did with me.
Though it’s not completely lie, if I say at some point you were the reason of my glee.
Letting go of you is not as easy as I thought it would be ,
But fate has written something great for us,
Let’s just trust and see,
Let me just love ,the rest of me.
But don’t you be afraid , I am never gonna forget thee !
