Yesterday At The Boulevard

We walked in haste,
Side by side,
Couple of meters apart.
Our steps in synced.
And for the first time in my life,
Foot steps sound like music.
But then you strode faster.
I’m starting to see your back.
Ticktock… ticktock…
I tried to keep up.
Almost there…
The verge is getting tighter.
Suddenly you looked back.
I got awestruck.
And with a snap,
We became distant like milliard.
I got fed up.
You’re so near yet so far
From my grasp.
This is the edge
Where I find my sane.
Bye stranger.
Such travesty,
I thought,
As I watched you walk away.
