Final Farewell!
How did you get in here,
do I know you?
Wait, I do know you.
Last time I saw you, what were
you seveteen?
My God you've changed, these
twenty years have been cruel.
Why does your face look like
nankeen?
Where the young man that was
full of life?
How's the family, your children
and your lovely wife?
They always spoke highly of you.
What do you mean, you don't see
them anymore?
I remember that their love for you
was like a spring downpour.
Why have you come here?
What do you mean your here for
me, say my goodbye's to whom?
There's no one left to say a "Final
Farewell" too. Why are your eyes
filled with rheum?
Just one last drink, and here's
looking at you!
I'm ready,
take me now Vishnu!!!
