He, She And We

He, She And We

Finally, I cleared my loan, he said

Is it, she questioned first

And then came an appreciation, that’s great

His eyes were fixed at the bright morning sky

So, what next on your agenda, she questioned.


The sky is blue today, she knows

Would be the next sentence he comes up with

To which she adds, the grass is green too

And soon he shifts his gaze to which she says

Hey, look at those birds perching on the balcony railings.


He gives a cheeky smile understanding the sarcasm

And she, a scornful look

For this has been the routine during their tea times

So, what next on your agenda, she repeats a little slow this time

Making sure to emphasize on the word ‘your’.


When I say 'I', it is obvious that you are a part of me

His words sprang up every time a

s it did in the past

Then why cannot ‘I’ be replaced with ‘We’

She had questioned, during their initial years of marriage

To which he had agreed but it was never ‘We’.


It never irks her now, hurts her though

That she has not been a part of him

But now she prefers him to be ‘I’ not ‘We’

For she has learned to be ‘I’ from ‘We’

It took years though, unaware she has come way too far.


Oblivious to her feelings, he is ‘I’

His achievements, his life, and his choices

Clear in his actions too, claiming HIS

Was she ever there in his life

She is least bothered.


‘I’ presented her a company of herself

For it brought a new spirit of renaissance

A power to empower herself

Silently she bid goodbye to ‘We’

Taking a solemn vow to be with herself.
