On losing

Over time, when we are afraid of losing things
They leave us
Sometimes with a goodbye
The other times with awkward silences
But eventually, on that day, our heart accepts the truth
All the gloom, all the feelings
That occupied our mind before, will now stop consuming us
And let us see it, the destination
Of our beloved’s journey towards
We no longer mourn over the lost things
We miss them, of course
But our mind and heart accepted the way it has happened
We don’t wish for them again in our lives
We let them live their own
We let them free
And make ourselves free
Wondering, if this is love?!
