That Fork in the Road

Our roads almost crossed once
we missed each other by just that mile
I wandered again, the same lane
the first time I walked those steps..
I didn’t recognise the footprints
second time over, I picked up the cues..

Maybe you were just a mile ahead
it’s a small world they say..
I don’t quite agree
The world’s big enough..
makes it impossible to walk the distance..

Our roads almost crossed once
but, that fork in the road
where we missed each other
just that mile ..

Good Piece!! you surely miss some ppl or may be feel left out in a crowd....but what really matters are the footprints.....footprints of the person in our memory.
