Walking away with the promises

with memories of fights and kisses

without uttering a word

without dropping a tear

without creating any fury

without leaking the inside story

it is all about SAYING GOOD BYE.

Living with flickering hope has never been

my way,

so what if moments shared have passed

its sunny day.

no regrets, no remorse, nothing to retaliate

lost compassion does not anymore complain.

On independent trail to an unknown land

without any music, without any band

saying good bye to each and everyone

thanking you all for what you have done.

Please donot cry if I donot return

please donot carry any heartburn

please live without my memories

when I am gone

please accept my good bye

as I donot want to bother you

when I can handle things on my own.
