It's already here, who would have thought this day would come so quickly?
Who would have thought it would all end so swiftly?
But that's life, and we must accept our fate with peace and resignation.
And now that a thousand paths I've walked, I know the end is here, so I must embrace it.
I can't go on, I'm not allowed, I've always knew in the end it will come to this.
Don't cry for me during those long nights. Listen to the howling of the children of the night and remember that girl you used you know when you were young.
My soul will miss thee, beloved comrades who gave me grace and understanding.
Long not for my departure, for I'll still be lurking 'round the corners of the dark night, singing behind the stage curtain, crying in that tower, running free in that forest beneath the pines, or reminiscing in that moon that forever will now shine upon us all.
Whenever you feel like talking to me, just gaze upon that moonlight, let that light bath your eyes, and think about me, for I'll be there.
Whenever someone mentions my common subjects, my cherished desires, my fantasies never reached, I'll be there too.
So I guess this is the end.
This is the last goodbye.
It's sad that it ends, but it's been a wonderful ride.
As the saying goes: it's not about the destination, it's about the way that took you there.
And how precious and unforgettable this way was!
Thank you for making me a little happier in lonely nights or routine work days.
I'll treasure you all in my heart.
Farewell, my dear dungeonites.
We'll not meet again.

That SOTN reference. Beautiful.
What's with the goodbyes though? :(

Very thoughtful poem. :)
What's with the goodbyes though? :(
I'm wondering about this too.

Thanks to both! :)
No, the farewells were just for dramatic purposes.
I started to write something because I wanted my 1000th message to be special.
But then, since I was about to go on a trip, I thought: what about if I was going away forever? How would it be to say goodbye to everyone with a poem? All my family, my memories?
And so the initial post transformed into something else, and I liked it, so I left it at that.
It was kind of an improvisation.
And finally I added the SotN quote in the end because I just love it :)
