Dear D

Farewell

I'd never say proper goodbye,
Merely because I'd never want to,
Or probably because it will be the last time we met,
Or it will be the last time we are actually connected.

Distance surely creates border,
Betweenness that will eventually vanish,
Closeness that will eventually fade,
And we,
Become a stranger,
Just like how we begin.

As we venture the time,
We swiftly separated,
Because our paths,
No longer intersect,
Like how it used to.

We are just a young wonderers,
We just want to be free,
No strings attached,
And we'll fly free,
To the infinity that remains a mystery.

Our betweenness takes a toll,
And as we pass the toll,
One by one,
It gets more and more pricy.
We are tired,
Exhausted,
Paying for tolls to a road that is never assured.

Your gentility forbids you to refuse,
Your gentility forbids you to decline,
But I know,
You are struggling to keep up.

My pace and yours are at variance,
I'm a lady of versatility,
And I'm an adjuster.
I need you,
And I don't need you.

Our time is almost up,
And I'd never want to say proper goodbye.
Because if I do,
I'll be scared,
Scared of the assumptions that I myself assume,
Scared of the outcome.

If you are reading this,
It's you,
It has been you all along.

Sorry,
My pride forbids me from being left behind,
And before you do so,
Leaving me behind,
I'll take my leave.

Farewell, cheers to your life ahead.
