Time betrayed them

In a different world, at a different time they would have been together. For life! Fought the demons of the demanding society. And the demons inside them.

In a different season, with a different direction they would have got together. For life! Danced through the rains. And fought the travails of bad storm.

In a different religion, with a different bible they would have been united. For life! Followed their faith blindly. And with open eyes.

On a different evening, with a different imagination they would have been together. And loved the sight of slight drizzles; while the sun shines.

On a different mood, with a different set of ideals they would have been united. And not cared enough to weigh principles against promises.

On a different flavour, with a different desire they would have been together. And tasted the joys and sorrows of an atypical married life.

On a different page, in a different story they would have been united. And their life would have been a rhythmic poetry. One that melts the heart.

On a different tune, with a different instrument they would have been together. For life. And composed mellifluous music.

On a different day, with a different resolve and different priorities they would have been differently together. For life. But Alas!
