Change is in the air

It’s been so long,
Since I have been staying here,
I have come to know the spiders here,
That’s how long I have been staying here.

But now that is about to end,
Am leaving for a faraway place,
Another town,
Another face.

This had to come about some day,
So shouldn’t be a surprise that it’s arrived,
Yet there is a touch of melancholy,
And sadness in the air.

A touch of excitement,
A touch of regret,
A touch of apprehension,
A touch of happiness.

It’s tough saying Goodbye,
To people you have known so long,
Strangers on the street,
Now stop by to say Hello.

Everyone faces this now and then,
But that doesn’t ease the pain,
Of realizing that,
Change is in the air.

Will I fit in?
Will I miss them?
Will they like me?
As I like them?

Questions keep hovering in the mind,
Without any apparent answer,
Seems it’s best not to think,
And sit back and relish the change.

It’s nice that there is change,
To rejuvenate our minds,
To enliven us with a new experience,
And new people to talk about.

I shall soon embark on this journey,
And leave all that’s familiar behind,
But I’ll remember and stay in touch,
With all that I have left behind.
