A Face in the Crowd

You are walking, moving slowly with a crowd. And just then, you see a face. The face looks familiar. And within a jiffy, you remember incidents, words and days. All that has gone into the darkness of the past.

You want to talk to that person. You give him a smile. He looks in the other direction, twitches his nose and walks past you. His shoulder hits yours. You pause for a second. And the incidents - the birthday celebrations, the standing by each other, the supporting each other sublimes into thin air. With the snap of a finger you come back to the present.

And the present that the present has given you is a broken relationship with a dear one.

People change, relationships break. Take new forms..

.... isn't there anything we can do about it?!
