The Burden Of Happiness!

LETTING GO

In a whirlwind I found you,

Uprooting myself with glee

I followed you willingly, but now I see,

A lifetime has moments too few.

The memories of our togetherness

Are treasured in my mind.

But they, like the passing wind

Threaten to slip into darkness

To know the peace that ends chaos,

To feel the joy that follows pain,

To feel your hand on mine again,

I wait … and wonder in silence,

If it’s my heart that you reign,

If it’s your soul that I felt,

If it’s your mind that I’ve read,

Then how can you, not be mine?

But life, she pulls you away.

In her hand lies our destiny.

Who am I to make her sway?

Now, I let you go willingly.

A faint pain is now blooming.

Is it an end? …Maybe...

Or a new beginning?

Hope? Is it still alive in me?

Though our path was severe,

And the storm as turbulent as ever

We strived hard together,

And never gave into fear.

Now, to life, in humility we bow

And say goodbye to each other

As we part my dear, always remember,

That we loved as only love her self can love!


NOTE
