Random thoughts penned from Sumo's angle...
Hope you guys like it

Ten years before

Friendship it was

Between us

And then

A break,

A distance

Passage of time

Failure was I

That cast you aside.

You realized it all along

It was Love

I

Felt that loss

Ten years later

We meet again

Past hurts are swept aside

Distance/s bridged

Past flows into the present

But

Not Love

Only

Friendship

Is it all

It is to be

Is it all to

Remain forever?

What questions do you want me to ask?

To build the future

What signposts do you want me to establish?

And why?

What is it you want me to look?

Within

About ourselves

Recount or rewind.

To listen closely

The beatings of your heart

Or the tone of your voice

Or the unsaid somethings

Silences speak again

Incoherencies blabber

Like an echo

The shadow of those ten years before

Flit again

Blurred,

Hazy

Yet they do remain.

What are you to me?

Friend

Is that what all remains

Is it all what it was ever meant to be?

But friend we were

Why do we need to establish it?

Again

I think I know now our story

So shall

Write again

Anew

With renewed vigour

Replenished with the joys of today

Picture of mango eating

Is no longer

pedestrian

But

A realization

We shall always

Share

Enjoy

Care

For each other.

Does it really matter

If

Instead of love

you call it as

Friendship.

Beautiful, Indrani! 👏

What signposts do you want me to establish?

And why?


May be Shravan is not looking for any signposts...He has cleansed himself off the hatred...and started breathing the air called friendship...He wants to enjoy that for a while...Before he gets restless again...


And here...Khamoshiyan gungunaane lagi..


Silences speak again

Probably it is a journey Suman has to undertake...as Shravan did years before...The story has to come a full circle...


...And friendship...Is that all the haq that remains with her?😳

Chick, my lovely girl.. I was waiting for you keenly🤗

Your thoughts are much awaited

Glad you pounced on that word😆

Signposts

What are they supposed to be?

Friendship😉

You were once my friend

And shall remain so

Is that all

It was supposed to lead on

Or

They are the ancient stories

To be recovered

Yet

Not

Easily understood

Why?

Is the language different from that of ours

You want it more

Classify

Exclaim

Shout to the world.

I want it

to be shared

For that

My dear friend

Signposts

Is a ghostly reminder

Of our past

My hurt feelings

And my unstated love

A mere silence




And here...Khamoshiyan gungunaane lagi..

We go back to that word, Haq...😉 Has Shravan the sole right to give that haq? And Why? What happens with that haq? What if this haq is not acceptable to Sumo as it once wasnt to Shravan?

Chick, you have raised so many points all valid in themselves.. but I wouldnt want to arrive at an answer, you never know this might not be the signposts you want to lead you on in journey towards an unknown something
I really love you.. your perspectives are absolutely mind-boggling😆

Side notes...Signposts...Aap bhi na! ❤️

What will be next? Posters? Flex Boards???😉

🤗

One cannot explain love...
Or exhibit it...
The road to it will open up slowly,
As one learns to trust the instincts more than the signboards...

As for the haq...
She has none over him,
If she is only one among the many girls who call him a kamaal ka bandaa.
If she has that haq indeed, he needs to spell it out more clearly...
She can only go looking for it so much...
Until he shines the beacon, she would fumble.

😳
