the end of an era

the end of an era
the time has come
to stay is still an option
but why stay
when you can go
leave for greener pastures

what is done
has already passed
no use looking back
no use crying over it

the beginning comes to an end
an abrupt halt
if you weren't looking
all is gone in a split second
or at least it feels like this

don't forget the little things
don't forget the big things
lest not you appreciate this
it goes
gone with the wind
like the flame that dies with the wind

it
is gone
