When you are one step away from losing them,
And are saying your last ever words..
What would you say?
Would you still talk
Or would the words just fail to come?
Even if you talk,
What all will you fit into those final moments?
Where will you begin and
How
Oh how!
Will you ever finish?
You may start by telling them
how much you love them,
You may then go over each and every beautiful moment
And recall all that you learnt from them
You might even remind them
of the horrible things they did to you
and then laugh about it
Or maybe you confess your crimes
and seek forgiveness.
But no matter what you say
It will not change a thing
Because
Words aren’t enough to define your love for them,
The beautiful moments are infinite and
you won’t be able to do justice to all of them
no matter how much you rush.
You will list all the things you learnt
But will you be able to fit in how important they were
In shaping you and your future?
You might have fun laughing about the horrible things now,
But would you be also tell them how
In your bad phases, those memories still haunt you
And that’s why you cry more than you should?
Even if you gather courage to confess your greatest crime
Would it finally render your conscience clean and guilt free?
No matter what you say,
no matter what!
It wont really
It wont.
Change a thing
No matter what you say,
It wont fill the void you feel
In their absence.
Because no words are ever enough
In the final moments.
And yet
You must say them,
For who knows,
Maybe it’s these words
That finally bring you the solace
That you seek
When you finally let them go.
