We were, for a long time Sharing everything under the sun I didn't know it was so important To chase people all the time; I always wondered why I lost them Perhaps 1 grew out of them Or they evolved more than me. Our views changed on things; Politics, religion, caste, creed, phobias Things that didn't matter once Now became relevant. Or perhaps I was selfish enough Didn't ask, how you are? But did you know my tears? My fears and failures? Before you judged my intentions? Our story is short and unexpected It stops at an open end I don't know whether we will talk again Or ever see each other's face Our bond is now like a tree in autumn The leaves have slowly fallen But there's still hope for spring I keep my heart's door open Lest you want to come home again. © Suranya
