He had the same name he did
four weeks ago
My name was the same too
All of him was the same
He even wore the same tshirt
I wore a different dress though
But I am sure I looked the same
Four weeks ago
I did not think
it was humanly possible to get closer
than what we already were
The same bus,destination and driver
but it seemed
the distance between us
was so much
we were going different places
He did not hold my hand
I did not ask if I could hold his
It would be awkward
after all
We were not the same anymore
Even if we were in the same situation
Going to the same place like we did before
looking the same
with the same nose
and same everything else
and out of all the things
I wanted to change
the way he looked at me did not…
after all
not everything
can be changed by time..
Maybe
there is something bigger than time
Maybe that something does not need a name
because if it is labelled
it won’t have space to make mistakes
atleast something should be free
and not fit in
or be categorised
even if that something was not the thing
between him and me…
