I Am Leaving

By Y Kupmei

Shew me no mercy

If I hurt you

Why you leave,

if love is true?

Unlike seasons that change

Faithful love does not alter

Love that I foresee, is an ocean

Never get dry

Never run out of current

Love that I know is,

The coming together of two souls

Twinning

To become one.

I am but a cloud in the rain

vanishes at times

Likewise,

My feelings for you will disappear someday

Don’t regret

that you would have stayed

now that I waited for long,

I’ll leave

Don’t stop me

For I shall renew my wings to cuddle with another.

As we’ve found our separate ways

I pray you’ll build a nest to rest,

and heal

when you watch sun shining at dawn

dredge up all the good times we had

keep the flame of fire always burning

find love,

and never be alone

I’ve got my way to go

Darling,

Where I’m going,

I won’t find you there

But I’ll tell my lineage about who you were

Your memories will be framed

and its cycle of you will live

no flames can cremate the love I had

from you,

I’ll remember

But now I’m leaving from you.
