The circle of life goes on and on,
People meet and then they are gone.
As strangers we met,
And then the friendship set.
The hi’s and hello’s soon turned into
Animated conversations with time.
As the seconds tumbled to minutes, minutes into hours,
Years passed by and I knew we had come afar.
More than just friends had we grown
The seeds of love were over the time sown.
Time rolled by and we knew we were meant to be,
Fate has its own plans and that’s what one sees.
Distances tore them apart
But love for them would not depart.
Gradually the distance played the prank,
Distances now seemed endless and frank.
The longer the distances grew,
Conversations became few.
Priorities changed and so did reasons,
Like the ripples in the water and the changing seasons.
My world fell apart or so I thought,
But I knew I had to face the truth I sought.
I knew I had to move on,
Life had to be given another chance.
My life had changed at the whims of fate
And my love story came with an expiry date.
