the sound of departing train, hushed wind, incessant rain, separation and parting pain, waving each other goodbye! as the train journeyed you far, leaving on time’s face a scar, prising open our lives ajar, waving each other goodbye! silence after the last carriage, like the last page of a marriage, alone amongst strange baggage, waving each other goodbye! a hint of tears in your eyes, a faked smile towards skies, result of broken once deep ties, waving each other goodbye! sometimes I stand at that pavement, waving an imaginary goodbye! still tethered to that moment, I feign a smile, and tell a lie!

Congratulations on your win. What a beautiful yet sad story/write. Love your line "waving each other goodbye!" Saying goodbye is always hard to do. Have a blessed day/weekend............

Goodbyes are sometimes heartbreaking Krish, when I used to visit my ageing relatives there was always tears in their eyes saying we might not see you again. Hope you're well and good luck. Tom

True Tom! The good bye I said to my mum was the most painful I shall remember in recent months!
