THE WHYS AND WHEREFORES ✍️

 

Strangers or relatively Newer Friends,

Are more comfortable to be around;

For they ask fewer questions,

As they really know, no background.


Minimal words are exchanged,

At every casual meet and greet;

Just ordinary, routine conversations,

When you catch up on the street.


Forever Friends and Family,

Are 'Special', there is no doubt;

They've been a part of every Story,

So expressing Love, they can't do without.


But with concern, come a dozen queries

A strong desire to remember days gone by;

'Memories' are great and keep me company,

Those 'Reminders', just leave me asking 'Why'?


I wish you could understand, my reasons to stay away,

From familiar people and paths, that journey back;

Ever Grateful to be blest, with loved ones who Care

But re-living moments needs 'Courage', which I still truly lack. ✍️
