Time To Say Goodbye…

December 16, 2011 | Filed under: Poems | Posted by: Disha Virk

After having shared a love-hate relationship with my college for almost 3.5 years, today, when finally the time has come to bid a final goodbye to it…things have suddenly taken a 360-degree turn. It’s purely a blank and bland feeling altogether. More than the college, just a thought of leaving the hostel petrifies me – a place where I’ve shared some of the most priceless moments of my life till now. The lead protagonists in this story are my 5 dearest friends, who have really redefined the meaning of Friendship for me.
Words will fall short to express the deep love we share…imagining life without them for a brief moment really numbs me but that is perhaps, what we call as ‘Life As We Know It !’.
We come…we meet…we create sweet memories that are to be remembered and cherished for a life time.
Here’s a short poem for my best buddies

Time to say goodbye…to those sister-like friends,
who stood by me in all kickoffs & dead-ends,
sweetened my bitter dawns following teary dusks,
spreading smiles worth a million bucks.

Time to say goodbye…to those lazy reluctant mornings,
waking up early to cram stupid reasonings.
those so-called serious sessions of group studies,
that ended into frivolous chit-chat activities.

Time to say goodbye…to those vivid afternoons,
fighting frivolously over tablespoons.
making a frown on seeing the mess food,
yet gulping it down as if never had something that good.

Time to say goodbye…to those evening walks,
rambling for hours having delightful endless talks.
sharing all flippant heartbreaks and candyfloss crushes,
teasing one another with naughty pushes.

Time to say goodbye…to those late winter nights,
coupled with crazy idiotic pillow fights.
with a simmering cup of coffee in one hand,
howling in peppy corridors that presently lie bland.

Time to say goodbye…to all sweet moments,
of bountiful happiness and slight disappointments.
the brisk outings which we enjoyed,
the holidays for which we cried.

So the farewell day has finally come,
and it’s time to pack bags for home.
With silence all around we are hugging each other,
recalling those memories spent together.

Tears are rolling down the eyes,
as it’s time to say sore byes.
Setting forth on a new journey,
trying to unravel the enigma of destiny.

Lets carry a bouquet of lovely colourful memories,
that’ll be worth cherishing for centuries.
Yes…it did start with a simple ‘Hi’,
But for now, it’s really TIME TO SAY GOODBYE…
