A Thousand Suns

It was just yesterday when you said “Hi”,
You turned away and hell, the time flew by.
I asked you “Where u going?”, u didn’t reply,
I wondered over the night, what made u deny.
The tea suddenly seemed so cold and the weather so arid,
The rain no longer felt wet, don’t know? Is it something what I did?
I asked u again “ Atleast temme when u gonna come back?”
U gave me a smile and a soft pat on the back.
I returned home curious. “Does every good thing come to an end?” ,
I asked God .He was calm at first and then i saw him bend.
“The perception is the key , Child” He said “ Every good thing does conclude,
But to give rise to something even better” He continued to elude,
“Change is the only thing static” He said.
“So boy, cheer up , u got your answer” and then, i woke up on my bed.
I pondered upon my dream , and finally realised what he meant.
“sometimes u gotta let things go” no use being any bent.
The next day we met,
But this time I had answers to my questions.
“Where u goin?”
“Life’s a river dude, Everyones’ gotta be flowin!”
“When u gonna come back?”
“Stupid question, I am always here with u, hear your chest tap.”
“You wont be here anymore, Is it gonna hurt then?”
“Defiinitely it will, ‘coz the hardest part of ending is starting again!”
