Circle

I was so close to you

it felt like we shared the same breath

I moved in closer; I could feel the quickening of pulses

trembling of the racing heart beats

but couldn’t fathom whose

 

You moved closer; your image became larger than life

I closed my eyes, but the presence lingered

it became over whelming

I turned and started running

 

I heard footsteps, which were not mine

turned and saw that you were running too

running towards the opposite direction

I thought only I have felt the closeness

and only I was scared

No, you have felt it too

the urge…the presence…demands!

Scary as hell

 

I ran for a long time

after sometime, I saw you

running towards me

and I was running towards you!

it was too late

when we realized

we have been running in a circle

 

Sooner or later

You and I

will collide
