One Day

It so happened,
One day,
Our paths crossed again,
Even after a decade,
Awkwardness was still there,
We left it like that,
Between the sheets,
Paper thin emotions,
Didn’t take much time to heal.

It so happened,
That day,
When we met for the last time,
On a sultry summer evening,
With the same awkwardness,
Cautiously avoiding eye contact,
Pretending to be normal,
While wondering when we could,
Just run away.

Run away from being pretentious,
Run away from each other,
Run away from the time we spent together,
Run away from the throes of emotions.

It so happened,
One day,
Our paths crossed again,
This time we had nothing to share...........
