Love Poem: We Are Leaving

We Are Leaving

We came here hiding
dreams behind the smile.
But we are leaving, hiding 
tears behind the smile.

We came here with a bunch of queries,
But we are leaving with a bunch of memories.

We came here and shifted
to friends from strangers,
But, we are leaving and shifting
again from friends to strangers.

We came here and wanted marks in exams
which will eventually fade away,
But, we are leaving with mark, 
with footprints of memories which will never fade away.

We came here and wanted to express everything,
We felt about the people we care,
But we are leaving by hiding everything
we felt because we couldn't dare.

We came here saying we will live
without creating new bonds,
But, we are leaving and now we
can't live without these new bonds.
