Leaving

Walked out of my life one fine day impetuously, you did.
Broke my heart one fine day into pieces, you did.
Looked back rarely, your new life waiting impatiently.

Friends you glorified, places and all others you prioritized.
Left your home, your hearth and your beginnings
Chasing thrills, excitement and fresh starts, you did.

Will you look back, I wonder, with sentimental longing?
Will you remember your past, the memories we shared?
Will you think of me when moments are empty?

The lure of new beginnings, tempting and exciting,
Will they sway you away from family and old friends?
‘Till one day when you look back, as you undoubtedly will;
Shadows, even of your past, you won’t recognize.
