दो कदम और सही

You graciously give me space
As is your nature
I think I am beginning to know you
I think we could get along well together
I would like to give you a friendly wave
But you are gone already

I wonder why you
Cut across me so rudely
I wish I could give you
A sharp tongue lash
But once again you leave

To be replaced by another
Whose gentle and unfazed style
I take a liking to
Before I start thinking
How long
This one
Will last

Before I become frustrated
With losing them
Just when I thought
I knew them,
I have to remind myself
That it is cars on the highway
That I am talking about
And not lovers

Memorable Goodbye

"memory like a suitcase with limited storage space
 I find myself trampling all over old memories to make
space for new ones"
jhusilkira

The goodbye is a lot similar

I find myself trying to cram
the complete shared moments
and its official companion -
    the gamut of feelings
into a few sentences
that i hope you will remember forever
as the essence of us

And end up fishing
From that inadequate suitcase
Of most recent memories

The epilepsy called goodbye

It does not strike you
With the regularity
Or predictability
Of an epilepsy,

But when it does,
It leaves you
Gasping for breath

Goodbye,
the disease without a cure.

The best you can do is
Hide the the symptoms
Until it is too late to treat.

Unlike other arts

The art of goodbye
Is one that you
Never get better at
No matter how many times
You practice

the moment you grow up

when the realization strikes

that all relationships require effort

pain

sacrifice

even the ones
that you thought were natural
and the ones
you expected to be magical
(especially those)

It's not fair

That i appreciate a person so much
who comes into my life like a hurricane
and leaves just as suddenly

while there are many
who love me everyday
and deserve my thanks more

Need to know basis

When you gave information
On a need-to-know basis
I thought it was because
You didn't want to hurt me

And all the time it was because
you didn't want to hurt your chances...

(And there I was, looking for
history,
soul-searching,
redemption,
hope,
all that happens
when you start a life anew)
