Final Goodbye

ALISHA

The music room was what I called it. The art room was what Salman called it. The extra room was what others called it. But basically, it was the ‘artist’s hub’, with all my music instruments, and Salman’s painting tools lying around. Me and Salman had taken the liberty to paint and design this room like we liked it, and ended up just throwing pain around. It looked electric to say the least!

I sat down on the bench of our grand, black piano and started with the intro, also telling the guys and Malaika what the song was about.

“After seeing death closely, dangerously closely, I figured anything could happen anytime. Even when I thought I’d die, I was wondering how I’ll never be able to tell you that I love you all so very much. And I don’t want to have any regrets later, so this song. Because when words aren’t enough, music does the trick.”

*final goodbye*

I never should have waited so long to say

What I've always known since the very first day

Thought that you would stay forever with me

But the time has come to leave

Before we turn out the lights and close our eyes

I'll tell you a secret, I've held all my life

It's you that I live for and for you I die

So I'll lay here with you, till the final goodbye

Hold, draw me close, close to my lips

Listen intently, as I tell you this

Outside the world wages its wars

I'll rest in peace as long as you know

Before we turn out the lights and close our eyes

I'll tell you a secret, I've held all my life

It's you that I live for and for you I die

So I'll lay here with you, till the final goodbye

Promise you our love will carry on

Until you turn eternal, we belong

Before we turn out the lights and close our eyes

I'll tell you a secret, I've held all my life

It's you that I live for and for you I die

So I'll lay here with you, till the final goodbye

His respectful lips for the last time

Spell out the lyrics to love in the sky

It's you that I live for and for you I die

So I'll lay here with you, till the final goodbye, goodbye

*final goodbye ends*

“You are not allowed to make me cry ever again.” Malaika recovered the first and hugged me with all her might. All my brothers joined the group hug too, and I ended up being squashed. But this time, I didn’t wiggle around or complain. I loved the warmth, the feeling of togetherness, of us being one. I had been longing for this feeling when I was sure I was gonna die, and now it meant so much more to me.

We finally recovered and were sitting outside. This place had a lot of places to hang out, and right now we were in the back lawn with sheets spread across the grass. Nobody had spoken much since I showed them the song, all lost in their thoughts. Slowly we had started whispering in phrases again, talking about how surreal everything felt.
