I WILL LET YOU GO

I will let you go,

Because I wish a smile on your lips,

Even at the cost of the salty juice of my eyes.

I will let you go,

Because I want you to shine in the sky of prominence,

Even though I know, my pen will dry up in your absence.

I will let you go,

Because I wish your garden to be plentiful with flowers,

Even though, my garden will turn barren without the raindrops of your letters.

I will let you go,

Because I want you to fly free at your longings,

Even though I know without you, I will be a bird without wings.

I will let you go,

Because I desire you to scatter your aroma all over the sphere,

Even though after your exit my life will be devoid of colors and odors.

I will let you go,

Because   I love you so much,

Even though, without you I will dwell like a living corpse in solitariness.

I will let you go,

Only physically out of my world,

But will nurture you in my heart till my end.

 I will let you go,

But my verse will continue to sing your grandeur,

And I will continue to encourage you to grow as a writer.
