For long we have traversed this path, Hands held tight, We moved on ahead. You speak to me, Nay not a foreign tongue, Yet what you speak I cannot comprehend! I reach, I seek For Someone, Yet it is not you I seek. We clutch desperately And move ahead. Alas, ‘t is in opposite directions that we proceed. In this frantic tug of war if conflicting needs I wonder, When hands meant to anchor turned to shackles! For a moment I am alone; There should be an obligation, Or maybe a commitment demanded of us… Yet no such thing exists! You live, I live And that’s just how it is ! I am appalled for an instant At this friendship turned travesty. Rather it is a strange transaction this, A transformation From strangers, acquaintances, to friends …to strangers once more. Yet hands held tight We face each other, And I wonder, who will be first to break free? : : Will we ?!
