I have come a long way from the past
Walking with you, for you, steering life like a mast;

The road was jerky, the travel was bumpy
But I stood stalwart beside you, tolerating all your grumpy;

You challenged my beliefs
You questioned my practices
But I choose to ignore your critique
As I loved you once..to speak;

As time passed by and as we aged, life's hurdles increased
The support that I needed from you dwindled;
Mornings turned in to evenings and days into nights
While I enduringly waited to be in your limelight;

My feeling of loneliness only grew with me
My depression and sorrow only aged with me;
Without questioning my destiny
I dragged my feet bonded by our matrimony;

Without blaming you I silently acquainted
I worked hard to keep the life with you untainted;

One day I chose to travel through time,
Fast-forwarded my life to a decade with a chime;

I found myself still sad and exploited,
I am still being mistreated;

Dejected I abandoned the time machine,
Decided to end this life, die in esteem;

Suddenly...

An uninvited saviour crossed my path
And talked me out of ending my breath;

Everything changed with the warmth of the sun that this new friend brought along !

First time in a decade I laughed my cheeks out
First time in a decade my skin glowed a hundred fireflies;
First time in a decade I was wishful for the future
First time in a decade I could see the end of the tunnel brighter;

Days and weeks passed in his enchant;

I questioned myself on this new hope a thousand times and debated myself as to why this was never felt with you anytime earlier;

I am more torn now than ever...
because now my whole life with you seemed like a fruitless endeavour;

The hopes this new friend brought with him awakened me, new wind guided me, showers purged me, bright rainbows uplifted me; Without me knowing myself, I fell for him.

My time in future was up and the time machine was shutting off...
I needed to rush back, if not I will be stuck in this unknown decade forever;

Trust me when I say it was not an easy decision
believe me, when I was with you, I lost all the power of volition;

But...Now...

I chose to ignore the sorrow and set forward on a hopeful mission
Take a step forward and give myself a chance, to explore the real purpose of life with intuition;

I decided not to go back in time...
I decided to end my life that was just a mime;
Sorry that I am breaking the promise of a lifetime...
Maybe that is why we were asked not to travel time;

Please let me go and let me leave the sorrow behind
Please let me experience the joy that I am now inclined;
Please unchain me from your bondage..
Please allow me to dream and let the hope salvage.
