We Became 'one' Poem by DrTP Sasikumar

We talked and talked

About everything,

About searching, hoping,

Waiting and knowing

There could be a different life

Days and nights passed;


After a while our lives converged

And we became part

Of each other's story

We thought we could

Go together all the way,

Being with each other;


The path we found together

Was not wide enough for two

So we parted different ways

Our hearts felt panic,

Throbbing swollen pain

We promised never to look back;


As we grew we learned the truth

We could never stay apart for long

We abandoned the old wounds

Time would heal them, we said

There must be different roads

We can meet along from time to time;


Rather than be 'two'

On one single road

We decided to be 'one'

On two separate roads

And we became part

Of each other's story.
