What changes?
They were in college
They were in love
They knew each other
They cared a lot
Three years went by,
the best of their lives
Mutual respect and care
was no suprise.
Then came the day
they parted their way
Different priorities
were at stake.
In touch since then,
they've lived separate lives
She had her home
He had his wife
Time changed it all
thats what they claim
But somehow the respect
was still the same
What is it then,
that time did change
if respect and care
was just the same?

hey sis, your post really makes one think abt this whole relationship thing ... nice poem ... somewhat similar to the one I wrote ... posted it as cupid corner ... part two...The Realization ...
so how's life with Mr.Bong ?
a sense of 'belongingness', perhaps?
Hi Tuktuki, Well at first as I read your comment, I felt you were absolutely right! But later as I thought more, the fact that they are still in touch with each other and are good freinds now, that they have no obligations towards each other anymore, but they knew each other inside out at one point of time, don't all these make them more closer to one another and hence though unknowingly they belong more to one another than they did earlier. Not quite sure know whether what you say is right!
Absense to love is what wind is to fire. It extinguishes the small and inflames the great. At least that's what they say.
But this 'poem' or however you like it called, can be talked upon. Oh yes, that it can and I see long ones over wafts of coffee.
Really well said Poornima, makes things much clearer. Still one question that lingers - 'how is friendship defined in such a situation?' Wind migh have extinguished love but what changes happen in the relationship? What is different?
Thanx buddy! U put it all so rite.
Thanx coz I know who this poem is dedicated to:)
Hi Anonymous,
You might know who the poem is dedicated as you might be one of the three different couples to whom this is dedicated to. But then my purpose of writing this poem was to get the answer to my question, which sadly I am yet to get.
The time didn't change the people...it didn't change the feelings...it changed priorities.
By virtue of being a part of this world, you have to live with the demands that it poses, and thus your priorities change. When one knows that the same gotta change, one looks out for what is new, and starts liking it too.
What it was that time did change,
was the acceptance that life can never be the same.
What it was that time did change,
was the acceptance that (unfortunately) life can never be the same.
Its the fact that the word "unfortunately" fits so well here, might be a botheration for some......
But then as you said "By virtue of being a part of this world, you have to live with the demands that it poses"
But I wonder if its right to forcibly move on with some other person when the feelings does not change with time?
