memories

we may never know
the exact moment
when 'we' ended.
neither you nor I,
for it did not happen,
in a single blast,
we were certainly not torn
to smithereens in one day.
if so,
we could have
legitimately grieved,
the death of 'us'....
we like
all others,
chose to tread
the regular beaten route..
talks,
lesser and lesser ,
touches,
fewer and fewer,
the need to fill the gaps
lost its grip,
till one day
we no longer mattered
to each other
as much!
and today,
though
there are no regrets,
for we still love
each other,
each in our own ways,
somehow,
its our shared memories,
that stand muted the most.
