The hardest goodbye

There is nothing more painful in life
Than losing a loved one
How could I say goodbye to you Pitaji
As your time had come
Doctors said you’re gone and its done
I knew that it was coming
But I never dreamt that you would go so soon
At last pain and suffering is gone
But I have lost my smile and laughter with you
I am completely lost without you
When I look towards the sky
All I see is visions of you
Whenever I close my eyes
All around me I find only you
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I could walk to you
And bring back you home again
But memories are just memories
And tears are just tears
I miss you every movement
And hold you near to my heart
Without you its too much pain to carry on
I miss your stories, your teachings
I miss your love, your hugs
Days will come and go
And the world would move on
I miss you so much that
Would never find my way without you
Not a second passes
When you are not in my mind
The sun, The moon, The stars, The days , The nights
All remind me of you
I feel your presence every moment
The last words you said resound within me-
“Death is a challenge
It tells us not to waste time
Tells us to love whole of humanity
Never forget yesterday
But always live for today
Because you never know
What tomorrow can bring
Or what it can take today’’
This is the truth of life
But how could I say goodbye
This is the hardest goodbye I have ever dealt with
I know now you are away from extreme pain
But I also know now I will never meet you again
I will never get a chance to say you bye
I will never get a chance not to cry
A million times I have missed you
I million times I have cried
If love could have saved you
You never could have gone
As long as I live, you too will live
Without you I cannot survive as I am the part of you
