Adieus

When nights are long,
when days are short,
When air is foggy,
when mind goes hazy,
When chill settles over thought,
when spirits are damp,
When Silence echoes,
When all sounds go mute.


A slow breeze,
a heavy feeling of nostalgia,
A fondness for the memories,
memories of times shared,
A yearning for the time,
time that never came
Looms large.


Lucky as I was,
that ours paths crossed,
that you came across.


You were a charisma,
an inspiring persona,
and an even greater enigma.
An enigma I wished
to surpass.


But Alas,
Destiny had different plans.


Adieus I bid,
Good Luck I wish.
May you go places,
may you travel miles.
Though without me.


But remember
There was someone left behind,
just round the square,
who was ready
to go that extra mile.
