Time has arrived for me to bid goodbye,
And it’s time for my heart to cry.
How do I accept this ending
And what do I expect from a new beginning?

It severely pains my heart when I think of a departure
But I must ensure it doesn’t enact immaturely.
At this juncture, life gives thrilling moments;
To reflect on the past and fathom life’s new endowment.

I wonder how many goodbyes are in the queue,
As I continue to run on my life without a clue.
Each one of them would give me an ocean of lessons,
And nurture me to be a better person.

My eyes bath in tears at the brim,
And mixed emotions swim on a whim.
My world becomes bleak
When my thoughts are terribly sick.

I ride this life topsy-turvy;
Yet, I enjoy like I am a bit tipsy.
I can neither escape nor avoid this errand,
But I can embrace the life to withstand.

Goodbye’s are intoxicated with emotions;
It is time to introspect about life’s commotion.
Though difficult to bid adiue,
I shall do it gently without further due.
