Old Flame

We talked after a long time

For me, she is a dime

But now that life is on a run

We are far apart like earth and the sun

She sounded gloomy about her work

I thought the meet would cheer her up

I also had some story to share

But listening to her talks was all I cared

I interrupted. I said that I missed her

She consoled me like times earlier

I thought we were there again

A happy togetherness dwelled in me then

As I let the thought of ‘us’ settle in

I realised, it was all just a day dream

Though I missed her and said that clear

She never said “I miss you too dear”

For a moment I thought I would cry

But then I decided to let it go by

For she was happy and I should also be

But then a message beeped: “missing you already”

The mobile went blur with tears in my eyes

“would never let her go”, promised I

Grabbed my phone to call her in a haste

And then a message flashed: “Sorry, sent by mistake”
