The pain of parting from a closed one



I was happy because
I had adjusted to live without her…
Although it took very long
To be strong…..
I kept myself busy enough,
So as to not get time to remember those years…
It was very tough,
But I was trying to forget the pain of parting…  
I immersed myself in other activities,                               
and tried to compensate her absence to our parents...
Although it was very difficult to be so nice,
But I tried to follow her footprints and advice…
We somehow managed to live without her!!!

I was ecstatic,
She was coming back for sometime…
My joy knew no bounds,
It was like a festival for my family…
We were waiting for her eagerly,
After all, we would see her after a year and half…
Finally the day came when she and jiju arrived at Mumbai,

Putting all smiles on our faces…
Her arrival made our lives colorful,
I felt as if time had rewound itself…
I went back to those wonderful days of my life,
When all of us lived together, had heart to heart talks and   
shared all our happiness, woes and troubles…
A week passed by,
Now it was time for her to resume her duties back at her place…
I wanted this week to continue forever,
But as time waits for none, it didn’t wait for me….
Finally the day came when she had to part,
This was the second time she had to do this…
How can I tell her to not go…
She has to continue with her duty…
After all, this is what life is!!! 

I am sad today,
I am still trying to live without her…
After her departure,
my life seems to have come to a halt…
Emptiness has creeped into my life,
with loneliness killing me gradually…
I am trying to be happy,
to see my parents contented and to reduce their pain…


God help me and my parents to overcome the pain of separation from my sister!!!
