4 YEARS NOW

Its been 4 years now,
A long time-
No doubt.
Yet the brief period of unity,
Seems etched in both our beings.
No scar - the old days,
Rather one of the rarest
Chances to grow,
And re-grow.
Far- yet together.
You say-
In our search for each other,
We emerge stronger,
Everytime.
Time after time.
Yes- true-
But would this ever end?
Will the magicality of the known unknown
Ever cease to beckon?
Would it too fade away then?
Oneday-
Like so many things-
Like so many others?
You seek answers
To questions which are yours.
Rightfully so.
I still turn away-
From all that you hold dear.
My dreams are different.
Our paths are divergent.
I choose not to reduce,
All to one factor.
Still in my childish way-
Tend to keep them at bay.
All those haunting lines.
The hunted- the predator’s mind-
Shall never conquer.
Bliss belies belief.
Reality chars the ugly stains.
No cloudy smoke we drift in-
But a haze of disbelief.
A daze of denial.
Self-denial?
I negate.
And yet float on-
We do.
Much against the tide of times.
The pull of the current.
4 years stretch on.
Now that we’ve seen the long and short
Of it all.
Deep in our hearts,
We still rest assured-
Reassured immeasurably-
That the saga shall carry on.
The fairytale won’t ever unfold.
Green will still be for peace.
Brown its halo.
