C'est La Vie
I stand as a silent spectator and observe the ever-changing dynamics around.
Circumstances and people, both, can change at a pace faster than you can sometimes keep up to.
New faces replace the old ones, ditto with relationships.
A faint memory still tries to keep alive the blissful moments, in times of desperate redresses.
The definitions of friendships are re-written and the endearments no longer stand for affection.
Awkwardness looms large in the company of same people with whom you might have shared some zillion smiles.
Familiarity has become a breeding ground of discords.
The non-stop flow of words is being superseded with silence.
The once non-calculable distances are now being measured in miles and hours.
No more are there the proximities that secured the strings of fondness and associations of complete strangers.
Forced into oblivion, the heart at times yearns for the same familiar grounds.
A thought overshadows this mindful rambling, that maybe it is good in a way, as it assures that life is not stagnant, but evolving - although on its own terms.
