Between good byes and thank yous



Between good byes and thank yous, lie swathes of emotions, attachments, last minute confessions and wordless whispers.

Which one of us hasn’t faced this… Last moment with someone whom we feel we may not meet again. Leaving the house where you spent your childhood, selling your old car which had a million memories attached, last day at high school or office… seeing the person you loved leaving forever…

How vulnerable are those moments of silent words. How heavy the throat becomes- even if you are the super-est of the superman or have a rock solid man heart. Tears land without permission.

Last kiss…last handshake…last supper…last night….last word…last glimpse….last memory…

And how swiftly life moves on in the next moment. How illusioned were we about our short lived moments.

We have faced these lasties and many more are yet to come.. so far we have been scared to face them yet prepared to face them and still pray to delay them.

In every figment of our imagination towards our sense of belonging, lies a deep fear of losing. We fear more than we love.

Never say good-bye…
