Let go

When expectations go ahead of reality,
when meeting gives more pain than waiting
when affection becomes a formality
It is time to let go...

when the pile of questions keep building
when unfulfilled desires stare you right in the face
when you cannot continue the backward bending
It is time to let go...

when loneliness soothes better than togetherness
when togetherness does not mean happiness
when happiness cannot erase the emptiness
It is time to let go...

Let go and make room for the new
remember life's moments are few
clutch not to the old for fear of change
Move on, says existence, dont miss the cue.
