Forever

A lot has changed as the clock has ticked, yet it feels the same,

Our paths crossing each other, again;

The dried leaves crackling under our feet, the wilderness still lush and full,

Hints of the wilting brush- brown, layered with the tears of the forest,

Signs of birth, of rejuvenation; of change, but not of difference,

The winds blowing through, a shiver of hope in the heat of the moment,

Is it you, or is it me; or both, as the greenery jumps back to life,

More than happiness, its glee; more than shock, it's relief,

A passing ray, visible for a second, and then not; close yet afar,

That's you and me; the epitome of freshness- evergreen,

Heads looking back, just as our roads; back to where we began,

Or away; the rain coming down in sheets, a cue to vanish; again,

More than love, its friendship; more than moments, it's forever,

More than you and me, it's us.
