A bond I can never sever

The bond that I can never sever

Why did I go into your room, she asks me? Me? Your? Is there 'me and yours' for us? For two people who shared the first ever residence in this world for anyone.What does she know? What does anyone know about the bond we share? A bond beyond time, beyond worlds, beyond us.

Separated by this selfish world, destiny brought us together on the banks of the holy river, in the stillness of the night. A meeting that changed me imperceptibly, in a way I never realized, never understood till I saw you as a portrait on the wall. The emptiness that I lived with for so long reduced infinitesimally only to magnify a multitude when I realized that I will never get to see your face another time.

Why did it have to be you? Why did it have to be the one person I bonded with on one dark night? The person who held the answers to all my questions, even the ones I never asked. With whom I was tied to by a bond so strong. Why did we need to share the same blood? The blood that is the reason we are in different worlds now. Why couldn't you have been just someone with whom I shared a bond I could never sever? At least then, I would know you were alive somewhere. At least then, I could nurture this hope that we would meet again sometime.
