There was a you

And there was a I

When we became us

We never realized

Feelings graduated

Love coursed several rivers

Before we merged 

In oceanic depths

Gradually you started drifting for work

And I became silent

And barren

You were there 

As a mere presence

But there was no us

You assured nothing as such

But I knew...

We have reached a dead end

Your excuses were in abundance

And your parroting of missing us

Were least assuring

So there is you

And here am I

When we became strangers

You never realized!
