We crossed paths
After a long time
Time has aged us
Strands of white hair
Sagging bodies
Wrinkles everywhere
We look almost identical
Yet time sets us apart
For him it has been a burdensome life
I had unburdened long back
We both talked of this and that
Only experiences set us apart
For the better parts it was bitter for one
And for one it was a content life
We caught up over cups of tea
Only to smile at beautiful memories we shared
Old friends for whom time had left its indelible mark
Young for those who could see the twinkle in their eyes
