Distance had increased between them
Not the bodies but their souls.
Now they became utter strangers;
Wandering with empty wholes.
One heard the other;
Only to retort, not to listen
Never showed it on their faces,
But regretted their decision.
The golden days they had together
Full
of sunshine and joy;
Seemed
to be overlapped by
Emotions
layered and coy.
She
did feel absurd without him,
On
the other side she was missed.
For
days and months passed by,
They
only reminisced.
Blamed
the other for the loss
Both
experienced in their case.
No
sooner did he realize,
He
tried to mend his ways.
But
then the egos intervened,
And
broke the two apart.
No
apologies were accepted,
Did
not give a new start.
But
destiny chose not to make
A
cruel jape of their lives,
Recalled
all the bees it had
Swarmed
out of their evil hives.
She
found her way back to square one,
Where
it all had once begun,
Round
and round the ideas
Seemed
to have been spun.
At
last pardons she did ask,
And
he happily did grant.
At
last blossomed the buds
On
their friendship plant.
