Crossroads and Beyond

They will all be going tomorrow

Today itself, albeit

She will be the one left behind.

Learning new things, living new lives

Tailormade expressions, brand new lies.

One of them is missing,

Will they ever, get time to find?

They will cherish and create memories

Rise above the follies

And churn and grind.

One of them is still missing,

Will they ever, get time to find?

Being together, away from some

Some will write, some will hum

But most of them will use their mind;

One of them is still missing,

Will they ever, get time to find?

Maybe the one who is missing ,

Doesn't belong with them;

Maybe she is done,

with all the mayhem;

Maybe she has a different path to tred,

Maybe (I bet) she is already miles ahead.

They will all be going tomorrow

Today itself, albeit

I will be the one left behind,

I will be the one not in hindsight ,

I will be the one running at my own pace,

I will be the one,slowly and steadily winning the race.
