Who was she?

Who was she?

She appeared from nowhere

Seeing me
standing all alone on the road

she came forth

and tugged at my arm

‘Where were you?

I have been looking for you.

Every where, here and there

Why you did not tell me

That you were here

Standing all alone

All by yourself

I just smiled

Tried to tell

In a vain attempt to elucidate

But she went on talking

Just then a bus arrived

“Look my bus has come

And I have got to go

Bye

To see you again.”

She waved at me
while I looked at her

smiling face.

Oh God

I forgot to ask her name?

I forgot to ask her

Who she was?

Oh my God

I am all alone

Once again

Standing on the road,
wondering.
