He had changed, she wondered
As he spoke of conditions and terms
How had he got so far from the misery?
How had he picked himself up?
How had he learned?
He cleared his throat in annoyance
Asking her to concentrate
At last when the meeting ended
He commented on her state
She really couldn't stand it then
Annoyed, upset she teased
'Have you forgotten the station square?
Can't you recall the friends that used to be?'
'They suffered rudenesses together
Calling them names, people turned
How they held on to each other then
As in the sweltering sun they burned.'
As she continued, he held up a hand
'As if they hadn't died in your eyes,
Fame went to your head my dear,
Now, I've let it go to mine.'
Voicing a protest she began
But he simply picked up his phone
'I've got another meeting in five,
You could do as you did and leave me alone.'
Beyond any control, the storm in her mind
She took the phone and slammed it down
'I made the mistake years ago Karan,
Do not let's make this mistake right now.'
She held on to his hand and made him look
She touched his cheek and he silently shook
Putting his hands in her hair he whispered
'I can't forget and I can't forgive you.'
'You shattered me, when you left...'
Tears pricked her eyes at the sight of his pain
'I'm so sorry' she began
He shook his head and cursed
'Damn it, you still don't understand
I loved you.'
Cradling him within her arms
She rested his head upon her chest
'I don't care what you do,
I'm not leaving you again.'
There they stood till there was no need for words
As the reunited two relearned
It doesn't matter how much time has passed
Once you've loved, you'll always love
