It's Never Easy...

I had penned this when I was in Goa, approximately two months ago, while leaving the place. Originally intended as a song, Bonhoffer did make my dream come true by coming up with a tune for this, that too almost a year after the CEP song that we composed together. I dedicate this song to all my friends in college. Almost at the end of college life, this song suits this purpose as well.

PS: You may find some references to some famous songs too, for instance in the fifth line (Leaving On A Jet Plane - John Denver), the seventh line (The End - The Doors) and the eighth line (Time Of Your Life - Green Day).

It's Never Easy...

Verse 1

It's never easy to say goodbye,
Once we were laughing now we cry.
The time we spent, the fun we had.
Those days of joy, how we were glad.

Now I leave, my bags are packed
Reminiscing what we all shared.
Is this the end, my dear friend?
Here is the fork in the bend.

Chorus

I don't want to go but I have to,
Separation is not what I want from you.
Give me a ray of hope, can I turn back time?
Or do I go on with this painful rhyme?

Verse 2

I was lonely though not alone,
And now you give me reason to bemoan.
What'll happen to that glass of wine?
It all looks bleak, why don't it shine?

I get ready, chugs in my train.
Your love is what I attained.
My window does not stay still,
It slowly stains my spectrum.

Chorus

Bridge

Thank you for all you gave me,
The gifts, the laughs, a memory.
Will I be back I never know
Will you be there, I implore.

Revised Chorus

I didn't want to but I had to.
Though love I have taken back from you.
Everything has its place and time,
We met, that is what's prime.

I pray that I'll be back again.
And you'll be there, come sun or rain.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder,
Let's believe in it as we remain asunder.
