So Apart.. So Close.. ||

Under the Branches of that Old Casuarina, 
Where We had our days of happiness..

We were standing like strangers in that pouring rain..
As if, "we" had never been..

No words.. No talks,
And the silence went to grow..
To where it was heading us-
'twas hard to know..

The flashes of the times..
When we held our hands,
And promised to be there..
Through thick and thin..

Only if I knew such a day would come,
And had the future, foreseen..

So apart.. So close;
An ending- He chose..

To him- my feelings didn't matter..
A pool of dreams- to end and shatter!

Understanding our silence..
We turned away from each other..

Did our feelings for one another, really matter?

Choosing different Trajectories-

Which didn't feel fine..
But, still he walked "HIS" path..
And I-   Mine!

Walking miles away from each other..
We headed towards a new life..

But Will these different trajectories,
Really make it easier for us, to survive..?  ||
