a modern tragedy

My Dear Former English Class,

I wrote this letter for you. I am glad this is not on paper, for the ink would be blurred by my tears.

My mother once told me that all good things must come to an end. And so I say, that today we must come to an end.

Please, do not take this personally. Believe me that this is not my choice, but it was God’s divine will that resulted in this change.

Though from now on we will not be able to enjoy the close company of one another, please remember one thing: our love transcends all physical feelings; our love will never die through our memories. I will always be in your heart, as you will always be in mine.

Don’t look back. Enjoy the extra seat.

I love you. Good luck. Goodbye.

Sincerely,

Until we meet again

Aravind Swaminathan

I could not have expressed my own emotions on the change so skillfully. Thank you, Aravind, for saying what was inside each of us.
