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!
