Moment
I was standing at the doorsteps
Letting him go in front of my eyes
My vision was blurred
The salty water that was precipitating from my eyes
I asked him not to go
In return, he just looked into my eyes and smiled
He went away from me like sand slips from hand
The tighter you try to hold, the faster it goes.
I knew I am losing him, but had no control
The only thing I knew was that I won’t get him back
Never ever ever
It is funny, what we want the most is what leaves us
Behind, and doesn’t turn back to see us again
I wanted him back, but I’ll never get him.
I know and I try to convince me, but futile.
He is none other than time.
But sometimes it is better to let him go
Rather than holding him
The wound that he gave me
Can only be healed if he goes away
Far far away.
And once he is gone, that far that I can’t even see his trace
The wound he gave will get healed
With a scar.
Scar remains for a long time
A long long time.
He changes people, their mind, their decision
He, in fact, erases the existence of a person
Today I am here around 150 people.
Tomorrow maybe I won’t be or they won’t be
Nor will he.
He is the one who never waits
Never ever for anyone.
He is the one who goes but is still there.
We all know this second just passed away
But till the time we think of that passed second
A new one arrives and passes, making the passed second older
New second comes and comes
So do everything.
He is none other than time.
Some were missing the most delightful time they had
Some were living in that time
Some were excited about the upcoming phase of their life,
The moment they realize they are enjoying
That phase of life is over.
He is gone, far far away.
Like he always does.
He left many at their doorsteps
With eyes full of tears.
