And I walked to the neighbourhood

where you used to live years back,

I stood in front of the house,

the one that used to be yours long ago,

seems other people live there now

I looked at the old door, iron, and glass,

and I saw behind it the very steps

I used to climb happily, hurriedly,

rushing to find the safety of your arms.

I could catch a glimpse of the big hall

and the sunlight shining on other lives.

.And then I saw ourselves as we were then,

I had time to wish I had known then

what I have managed to know now

but it was not to be, only Time decides that.

And so, I kissed your face lovingly

and I patted my younger self on the arm,

and finally came back to my present,

wishing the people who live there now

a story as romantic as ours used to be

but decidedly more linked to happiness.
