The invite laughs at my plight,
you and another name is now a reality.
I read his name and wonder how he must be,
better than me or maybe worse at times.
I look at your pic and imagine,
a hint of sadness, even when you are all smiles.

Its time now for the last goodbye,
and a surprising gush of relief inside,
goodbye to those endless days of trying,
goodbye to those nights of crying.
goodbye to convincing myself there is hope,
goodbye to saying yes when you say nope.

goodbye to pretending loving those faults in you,
goodbye to those days of endless blue,
goodbye to the constant analysis of who went wrong,
goodbye to the wait which was getting too long.

goodbye to being forced to love your family,
goodbye to smiling when they were being wily,
goodbye to asking your forgiveness everyday,
goodbye to wondering what I was being sorry for!

goodbye to not being able to move on,
goodbye to wishing you and me were in different decades born,
goodbye to wishing I was a part of your happiness,
goodbye to sorting out this impossible mess!
