Dia Chatterjee - Farewell!

When you sit by yourself at the end of a day
With nothing much to do and very little to say
And if you reminisce about all our explorations
I wish a smile spills languidly on your lips
Even though you don’t seek any affirmations
That I have left behind a bit of me upon you!

Or when you go take that late evening walk
Under the clump of trees on our trail and they talk
To you about times when you had held me close
I wish a halo hovers mistily over your heart
Even though it’s not something that you’d disclose
To yourself that some of me could still be with you!

Or if you need to connect and there aren’t many
To just talk you out of a building melancholy
And if your soul turns to a blabbering bubbly thing
I wish you shake your head with an unbidden Utopian glee
Even though you don’t want stuff like that to cling
That proclaims that bits of me will always shine on you!
