The Resignation Letter

It came as complete surprise!
I was under the impression -
Everything was going perfect
At work and with office team.

Until your resignation letter
Just landed up in my hands!
At first I was in pure denial -
It took me bit time to register.

I was desperately grasping;
Trying to find wild reasons...
To make you stay a bit longer,
Which met from you a firm 'no'.

Then for a brief while my ego
Seemed to be quite a bit hurt.
Had I not ever cared enough?
Was what offered not decent?

But it didn't take long to figure -
It's all in vain, there's no way...
And its just so inevitable now,
That I started justifying myself!

Whatever happened was good -
For the future for all the sides.
And time is always there to heal
The wounds of useless attachment.

And after about half a day passed
Since your resignation, I'm smiling...
As I now realise this just how I felt -
Long ago when a loved one had left!

Funny how history repeats itself!
Possibly for the reason to teach us
Lessons which at first time missed -
Another chance to redeem oneself.
