4 am thoughts!





Twenty-three mutual friends in fb..
seventeen common connections on linkedin..
I must've known yu before
Come across ye by a random chance of fate
Should've heard people talk of yu
Had a hint that yu existed..
Or vice~versa..

we've lived in the same city
i've walked the earth you've walked
Sure must've brushed past each other
once atleast..

once some obscure friday evening
when i must've been busy shopping
or waiting for movie tickets

We must've met at cross roads
waited at traffic signals together
Must've drenched ourselves
in the same first rain
some forgettable day of earlyJune
some year

But it's a wonder
how life conspires to keep apart
two obvious soul~mates
and plays its secret games

builts a wall of glass in between
fills the air with fog, on both sides
and it takes a hell of time
for that fog to condense
and slide down as water, drop after drop

and it took long lonely years
for me
to see the faint contours of yur face
on the other side
to come to know of your existence
and assure myself of assured company

twenty~two years one month nineteen days four hours and seven minutes
to be precise!

We must have applied the same pythagoras formula
We must have read the same Newton laws
We must have written A, B, C, D as A, B, C, D
We must have used same NATRAJ company eraser

But it's a wonder how life conspires to keep apart two obvious soul~mates and plays its secret games

Pretty sure I did all that with you as well.. read the same ABCD and stuff. But you're not that obvious soul~mate, right? He is!

wildflower, you have read my thoughts and written them down precisely (only the age differs).
In fact, the one who showed this post to me was the one I would have written it for (had I written it).
Beautiful. Loved it. :)

How beautiful this is, I’m left breathless...You are truly one of the last true romantics. This was a treat to read.
I never tire from reading you...and wait in anticipation from reading each new post you write.
Take care, God bless and be well.
