walking down the streets

on those sunny breezy days,

we were just little kids,

and then I stopped in my steps and asked

“do you know me my friend?”

At that moment it was clear,

That it wasn’t breeze which surrounded me,

Rather storms of insecurity.

When I walked down those streets,

I walked away from me.

When I turned around, I was greeted with an unfamiliar face,

But I remember just moments ago,

We were laughing and playing chase.

I ran the other way,

Hoping I’d find, you tripped and fell

I’d pick you up, we’ll have a good laugh,

And walk these streets together again.

I look up at the skies,

Not as sunny as before.

I never found you,

It seemed you left me all alone.

Thick mist over my eyes

Or so I pretended

Just to ignore the fact that the unfamiliar face I had met

Was actually yours entirely.

The truth is, my friend

I never knew you, neither you knew me.

The truth is, dear stranger

We’ll never walk again those streets together.

We both set out to find each other in the storm,

But found ourselves instead.
