Hand in hand they go

A trip to remember
Remember every bit
From day one
To day nine

One of them wasn’t too keen
But fate had to intervene
The train was boarded
Before it hooted
And there they go
Merrily they go

Initial few days
Were hectic always
She had no time
He was busy all the time
Were always busy with people who mattered
Were they that mattered?

For she came for him
And he came for her
Days passed
When they were apart

Neither had they talked
Nor they had joked
Fun was ending
With three more days pending

One midnight they were together
In a bus fortunately
Had nothing to talk unfortunately
It was hard to believe
Best of friends they had been

She was busy looking outside
The window
Uncountable stars and a moon
Over the cloudy pillow

He had closed his eyes
Thinking how to hit a conversation
Otherwise…………

Suddenly a sob was heard
He looked around but
Not a single one had murmured

He looked over his right shoulder
And there she was sobbing
And sobbing
What is the matter?
Why is she so battered?

He asked…..
Are you angry with me? Is it my
Fault?
But…
She was not angry with “he” and
It was not his fault

She had been lonely for days
Between so many people around always
He was not even in the pictures
In the last few fixtures

He realized, they had not
Been together
That was a thing to bother

Dumb was he
Was he dumb?
Not knowing what to do
He simply asked for her hand

Holding each other’s hands
They were relieved
Neither talking
Nor joking
Now they had each other
Still a long distance

As hand in hand they go…………………!!
