"You can hear the whistles blow ...a 100 miles "
This song crossed my mind as I met one of my elder cousin after years , who was once " my world " when I was 5 but then went onto make her own world without me.
A little annoyed me has always maintained distance from her whenever she came , but don't know why this time I said what was in my mind since decade's - " she was the one I knew even before my mother , but then she left me all alone ". After saying this I rushed out trying to control my tears which I could not as it was a build up of years .
As she was leaving our premise I touched her feet , she hugged me and said , " ab nahi chhorungi " . I smiled back and said , " let's see ..."
Later that night I was happy listening this song above and smiling knowing that it's " all a lie " , still felt relieved to have atleast said my mind to her .
We all meet such people in our lives whose exit makes us disheartened, sad, broken (atleast for me ) but may be that was the only time they were meant for in our lives, just what I got to know from this instance is the fact that have a proper" goodbye". A goodbye cannot save you from the pain of them leaving you , but it is important for the peace of mind as in " that was my best i could do " .
So as days goes by we all will come across multiple people at multiple phases of life , just enjoy the one's who cross that phase along with you and say a proper goodbye to the ones who exit so that if they ever meet in future you can smile and say " it was a nice time spend together, just that it ended too soon ".
