Sorry Was Necessary

Remember, we had a fight
Last night, at eight.
We broke all ties
And went for heart rendering cries.
I thought that I was right
But now, I realize, it was my pride.
Between us, the gap has widened
The bond we were tied in has loosened.
On the roads, we stood
And argued as hard as we could.
Then we took different roads
Back to our abodes.

You were going,
Going far away
Without even looking or listening
To what I had to say
I ran to stop you
But I was late
The train, had already taken you
Away to a different state.

As I walked on the narrow street,
Kicking the stones with my feet
I asked myself -
"Was sorry the word, that was needed
Was it why, it was least heeded?"

I saw you sitting on the bench
Where for the first time we had met.
I ran to you with your favourite "Munch"
You would smile, I could bet.
But when I reached there,
I found you nowhere
Perhaps my hallucination.

I reached the road, where we had fought
For a long time there I stood and thought
"I had lost you forever
you would return never."

I realized
That night
"Sorry was necessary!"
