I whispered a fond 'Adieu'

I know the title of the article gives a mental picture about good bye but this article is not about saying goodbye, it is to thank you. All those bittersweet memories we shared came back to me like a flashback in an instant as I journeyed towards the place we spent most of our time.

When I reached the place where we met for the first time, it was almost dusk. Out of my habit, which we used to do while we were together, I took out my fancy mobile out of my clutch purse and started taking countless snaps of beautiful sunset. Oh boy! You should have seen it. The scene of sun setting beautifully with dusking clouds around was breathtaking. At that point of time, as I took pictures I realized 'Old habits die hard'. And I am glad that I still continue our rituals as that is the only way of taking you along with me for good.

While I captured beautiful sunset from different angle, I was bit nostalgic. Yet I thanked you for coming into my life and giving me endless joy. Thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Most of all, thank you for all those memories which I will cherish forever and showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

I sat in the same spot where we kissed for the first time. I couldn't help carefully studying each and everything in and around the canopy. As my eyes scanned the place, I realized that nothing has changed. The same old wall cracks were still prominently visible. Yet so many things have changed in our lives. We started off as a couple, whom everybody envied and now! look at us. You are happily married and I am happy with my family and freedom. I might be pitied upon by my readers as I point out his marital status but I must say I have never been more happier to see him leading happy-married life as I have his past while she has his present and future. As I thought of old-us, I felt a sharp and penetrating cold as if somebody walked over my grave. I get goose bumps whenever I cross the places we have been.

After sitting there for a couple of hours, my body started becoming numb due to cold wind brushing against my thin dress. So, I decided to make my trip back to home as it was getting very late. Moreover, I was making my emotional state very horrible by sitting there. Before speeding away from that place, which means a world to me, I gave a last look and whispered 'Good bye, babyla' with a smile on my face and teary eyes.

These are few pictures out of many, that I took that day :)

Note: Sunset will never cease make me happy yet wonder about my life.
