Echoes Of Yesterday

By Meghaa Mundhra

Once familiar eyes now hold a distant view,

Shared laughter's echo, a faded, forgotten trace.

Paths that once met, now diverge and twist,

Leaving moments to vanish, like memories in mist.

Paths we once walked, side by side, hand in hand,

Now drift apart like rivers from the same land.

The familiarity we cherished now fades away,

Fading into faint whispers of yesterday.

In days gone by, we walked as one through it all,

All our emotions together would shine like the sun,

Now a rift has grown where closeness used to be,

Leaving behind sorrow we cannot set free

How strange it feels to meet eyes that were once known,

Yet like strangers now we meet, in a void overgrown,

Shared stories and dreams now drift out of sight,

Lost within the chasm of time's endless flight.

In the quiet spaces between our worlds apart,

I'll still cherish the memories, held close to my heart,

Though our paths diverged, and time marched away,

For in our shared moments, forever you'll stay.
