It was the only one.
I had to choose this
one-way road,
as there was
no other option
before me!
I accepted my destiny.
I wanted to reach out to
my fairyland
where you
had been living,
with a hope for
a brighter and
happier time.
Is our life an illusion?
Shall I remain immature
forever to repent my acts!

Now I am convinced,
there is no chance of returning
to my sweet home again,
which I left behind
long ago
to repent the decision
I had spontaneously taken!
