'Farewell' by Kartik Iyer

The moment is here at the door at last,
The eager souls, mounting fast,
And kissing time, in chorus sing,
Good bye, good bye, to everything .

To the garden, canteen to the fields and lawns,
The sweet benches we slept upon,
To the academic block and the administrative wing,
I bid my farewell to everything.

The crystal tear flows and the hearts prick,
The shoulders turn to a supporting stick,
The isle floods as the emotions flow,
As I just wish, I didn't have to go...

Crack goes the whip and off we go,
The feeling of dejection stronger grow,
The last time now that i get to sing,
I sing "Good bye good bye to everything"
