Congratulations

Congratulations my dear, congratulations!
Celebrations are in order -
Time to celebrate your happiness
And the demise of our ardour.

It is time to celebrate
Your rapid progress in life -
You have gone far ahead
With new friends, emotions and a wife.

There was a time we travelled together;
For a while we were soulmates...
For a while we loved, dreamt, planned...
Have you recalled any of that of late?

You left my side and went on ahead
Promising to come back fast...
You changed your mind and forged ahead -
For you, I became the past!

You made your choice, you picked your route;
I don't grudge you any of those...
Just wish you joy, luck contentment...
Wish it had been me you chose...
