Those were the days....

Those were the days when being together wasn't a compulsion forced upon by time. Those were the days when you knew all my little secrets and i knew yours. Those were the days when our first crushes were shared with an ardent anticipation and joyful hopes. Those were the days of girly chatter which lasted for hours together without realizing how much time has passed. Those were the days when we thought that this is what freedom is all about, loving, caring and being there for each other, no matter what. Those were the days when the painful moments of heartbreak were shared and there was a shoulder to cry on, when the hope that things will be better seemed so true just by the mere presence of each other. Two minds, two souls, leaning on each other, building the wall of friendship, stronger than ever.

And then, the times changed..or did we?

These are the days when dropping a line to say hello takes months of careful pondering. These are the days when the words seem to get lost in some unknown space before being uttered, as if knowing that the distance is too large to be crossed. These are the days when there is no more the chatter, nor any sound of the carefree laughter, no more of spending time together, no more secrets to be shared. These are the days when the ways have parted and you seem to have taken a different road. Our paths now somehow do not meet and there isn't any sign of a crossroad either.

But i long for the good old days. There still exists a faint hope deep within me that those days will merge into these, that the distinction will be blurred and that our paths will cross again...Someday !!!
