End or the Beginning ?

Those were the last days of my college. Yes, the road ahead seemed much greener and enticing but the one I had walked is beautiful and full of memories. I stood there, motionless, deep in thoughts...

Into the sky as I gazed
And let my heart sink
Into the memories of the journey coming to a brink.
I wondered if this is the end or the beginning?

The breeze dragged me back
To the moments that I would
Never want to forget!
Made me realize and gave me pain,
For some faces, I would never get to see again!

Ah those promises-- so innocent and true,
To stay in touch, I thought we could!
But then as I set off, this truth I do realize--
That we are friends for sure but lone travellers in disguise!

Thoughts of departure made me sad
And prospects, though, made me smile.
Into the delimma, I am left pondering,
Whether I should weep for the end or smile for the beginning?
