The meeting
The meeting
I don't remember
The last time we met.
Maybe it was when we hugged,
For the first time.
We both blamed each other
For not meeting often.
He fixed a date to meet again,
I said I'd try, taking out time
From this busy crowded life.
We never reunited.
I wonder what I could've told him
That'd be enough to say to a person
You're meeting for the last time.
I wonder what I could've done
To make him happy
That'd be enough for him to smile
On his last day in the hospital bed.
I wonder what he thought of
When the truck hit his bike
Did he think of the happy days?
Or the day he lost his pet?
Did he think of his mother or
The sister he loved more than life itself?
Did he wish to rewind time or
Wished all of it to be just a nightmare?
I wonder if it's ever possible for someone
To know, if a meeting is the last one
And to know, what exactly one should do
Every time we meet a person
That would be sufficient
For no regrets in this lifetime, even if we had
The last meeting with someone.
