Casual Friends
Casual Friends
Blindfolded by sleep,
we sat together for hours,
passing through deserts,
mountains, forests, and rivers.
Our eyes met,
when it started to rain,
when shivers of cold drops
reached to our unconscious brains.
The broken window,
which allowed the drops to pass,
we woke up startled,
when water reached to in splash.
After struggling for half an hour,
we could not stop the splatter,
so we looked at each other
Both soaked in smiles and some water.
With a different color on the tongue,
We introduced each other,
I didn’t get his name,
he didn’t get mine either.
Yet we talked and passed smiling gestures,
the color of his tongue was different
but so was mine to him,
Yet we were comfortable with our dialects.
We spent good two hours chat,
as we spoke about everything under the sun
Slowly unfolding each other’s cards
dropping guards as we move out of time span.
And then when I left before him,
Neither did he ask my number, nor did I,
It felt like a casual meeting of long lost friends,
Where words traveled with blinded eyes
It was like I dropped my heart's residue
I felt so light and fresh like I would fly.
No best friend or anyone could
have made me unload this amount of slime.
A casual friend on a random journey,
heartfelt talks and keeping my secrets safe
I locked them away forever in his deaf ears
Maybe I was as useful for him as he was to me.
