Leaving so soon?

You and I..... how different we are from each other and yet our songs
are the same. Our relationship is one of a kind. We are with each
other in each and every moment of our lives and still we're not really
together. Just look at us!

Isn't it amusing, the way we reciprocate our benevolence......your ego
and my humility; your temper and my calmness; your patience and my
restlessness; your songs and my silence.... I could go on forever! We
can go on forever!! You must be smiling by now but you know me, I even
think in poetry (....and "you don't understand it!!"). I would always
want to see you smiling like this, with me or without me. The joys
you've added to my life are so numerous that I could forgive you for
anything...almost anything. I want you to know something
today...something that has never come up between us before. You mean
so much to me; so much that if you asked me to let you go I will! Not
because it won't make a difference to my life but only because I
respect every wish in your heart and every dream in your eyes. The
point is you've to "ask" and to do that you must have a never ending
faith in my love. You can only trust me so blindly if you love me with
an equal ardour.

Oh... where has your smile gone... you're just beginning to understand
my words, I see. We've always shared feelings, maybe that is why words
seem so incomplete and meaningless between us! I have no idea what I
feel at the moment. You want us to part, then why couldn't you say it
in a few simple words. Why should you lie to me?? If you wanted to
save me from the hurt of it then you must feel this pain within me. But
if you wanted me to realize your absence much later so that I'd learn
to live without you, then you under-estimated me. You insulted my
love!! Losing a friend like you is something that will always bring
tears to my eyes but there is a world of difference between loving you
and begging of your love. I was always proud of what we 'shared' until
you made it look like my delusion. There are so many memories to choose
from....moments that have me laughing in one instant and weeping the
very next. Your laughter fills me when I'm sad.. even at your age you
laugh like a child; like a spoilt darling! Don't frown like that, you
make me want to touch your forehead and ..... I am a fool, you know! I
can hear you talk incessantly like a classic symphony; now fast, now
slow; words falling like a cascade of joy to my ears. Your magic makes
me flow with your conversation.....sounds that I will never hear
again. Don't look so doomed, I'm not blaming you for anything.Though
you lacked the guts to ask for it, I still hold you in esteem. You
want to soar free and I will let you go. I know you will never have
the courage to look into my eyes before we part but I have the heart
to lose a dearly beloved friend like you with the wish that you
weren't leaving so soon......it seems just too soon!
