Goodbye Kiss

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach

“You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Sonam Tashi, life took a different turn but those memories will be cherished for life long. You have been there for me for everything. Secrets were not secrets between us. Your paintings that had all those hidden meanings, which I used to mock suddenly, became more relevant for me. Life can take you away from me but not your smiling face and all those nigger things u did. You were not a friend who would come to bail me out of the Jail or one who will sympathise me, but one who will be sitting next to me in the cell saying “We are screwed nigger.” Time spent with you will be always cherish able. You were hard like a rock during our hard times.
I’ve never met ur better half in real. But I’m sure you would have made her feel, she was the luckiest wife in the world. Life has been very unfair to your 8 month old baby boy.
You were one of those individual who make life looks so simple. Those philosophical talks we shared, those counter strikes we played all played back again as if it was done yesterday. Cyborg will always be eternal. It’s been years I’ve met you but somehow today everything comes back as a flashback to me. As you have said, tears are not for an artist, when your customers get emotional on your creation, you get money and if they shed a couple of tears you become a great artist.
You may or may not be a great artist but certainly a great friend. I’ve not shed tears for you, as tears are for the one who is dead. You will always live in my memories.
