a random meeting
A random meeting.I suddenly spotted him by the coffee table in the crowd.I inched my way towards him just to check.Was it really him? Yes it was!!!! 20 years had passed and there he resurfaced into my life again....I sat down beside him.Neither of us talked.I just looked away not knowing what to do or say.Impulsively I let myself slip my hand into his.He still said nothing.His eyes stared into my soul.He seemed to be asking,"Why?"."Why did you go away?",he questioned.I had no answer.Can't I come back into your life?,he seemed to be asking."No,Not now.Too much time has passed in between.I have changed from what you knew me.I don't need you in my life any longer.",I said.I looked away trying to hide the miscreant tear that threatened to flow out and let him know of what I felt.I don't have any room for him.After all he was a gypsy from my youth .It was now time for him to move on.He could not stay.I could not let him stay.Oh!!! the sorrow of parting with a book once loved and cherished!!!!!!

Time passes; you learn new things; old taste becomes memories not to be rekindled; You are not a child any more; Say good bye gladly.
