We started out as strangersBut very soon we got closer.The feelings were same and so was the warmthBut differences and delusions overshadowed our bond. We shielded each other,Held tight during highs and lows.Compromised, pushing our limits, we tried our best.But destiny wanted something else.Though connected spiritually, we areStill separated physically and emotionally. Our bond, those secrets,We shared everything but pity, weCouldn't share self respect and tolerance.We walked together but on different sides,You were on the left, I was on the right.We were similar,yet so different and That's why it didn't work out well. Our bond was unique and sacred,But still lacked something.We complemented each other,But couldn't seal those cracksAnd so our red heartsBecame black as hell at last. All those deep conversations made us feel so special,All those lame jokes, funny snaps made us feel high.Who knew that it would take this turn?Our talks turned into argumentsAnd memories which used to be happy,Now make us feel sad and caged. Life wanted us to meet,But didn't want us together.We spent a grand time,But it didn't last forever.Our lives were just parallel, weMistook them to be intersecting. We don't know what went wrong.I want you back but life hasSomething else in store for us.We would have made it perfect,We would have sorted it out,But we had to part ways,And so my dear,That becomes the final truth. ~HARLEEN KATARIA
