Once a Love
Written on 15th August 2026

We waited for her,

Here where we once entered,

Now standing as pass outs.

And then she came-

Wearing a blazer,

Similar to the one in the old picture,

Standing next to the one she loved.


I said to him, "She's there".

She turned and saw him-

He who once in a blazer,

in the same old picture,

Now in a shirt indistinct from the crowd.


We went after her as she went in.

But she disappeared not moments after. She'd exited through the back gate, making a run in vain.

But we came out in time to see her again,

With us going after her.


She finally sat in a chair, knowing she was surrounded, and he stood beside her, broken yet just wanting answers.

Meanwhile I stand in between,

At a distance bit afar,

With a mind full of questions -

What happened?

Was what I did right?

Why was she running from the one she loved?


And maybe... They'll forever be as questions in my mind with missing answers...
