Evanescence ….the fading away!

A day when the dawn brought with it a love so new
The one whose blossom made the older one bid adieu

For then life forbade a new course
Leaving no minute for breakup or remorse

Just left was time to pull apart all that was sown
Those unspoken shards had to be blown

What seemed a lifetime of happiness and memories
Was now altered to the spell of a fool’s reverie

A lot had to be said, a lot to be heard
All of this was spoken but without any word

The death of the soul…the losing of its mate
Leaving it all to the decree of fate

We did tread along together for a little while
Living each moment like a lifetime

You and I were never meant to be
Two parallel roads became we

Who walked together through each bit
But never ever did the two meet

Like some people who love each other
But not necessarily end up being together

I set you free so you don’t keep any guilt
Just let bygones be like every blooming flower has to wilt

No promises were made and none broken
Just a few dreams and hopes which were over woven

It isn’t that now we will not be
Just in a different fashion, a distant camaraderie

With a heavy heart and a running eye
We wash away what we had as we say goodbye

Holding on to memories as they cascade
Eventually even this will drift away as I quietly disappear and fade ….!
