To my dearest love: I can't stretch us for long, Then we'll really be broken apart So I will try and face the things They've scared me enough With loneliness Let me use it to brave the storm And build a world, a haven For me first. Letting you go will be a test, But you have to grow I'm not that cruel to interfere. And if ever our paths cross one day, I hope you shine with intensity Of a thousand suns And our souls will still recognize Each other Marvelling at our varied fates. From the bottom of my heart, Someone thinking with love. -Maniksha
