And that’s okay..!

And that’s okay..!

A Poem by Madhu

They see me once in a while
at parties,
Holding a cup of coffee to to
their champagne
Aren’t you a little too old not to drink ?
They would ask

Soon, they would discuss about
their degrees, salaries to thier political interests and what not.
I would say One to their ten’s
And they would add another ten
before I go Two

They wear the wrist watch on the right
whilst mine sits on the left
I would check the time
It would already be 20minutes late
to the time you would come
I would be nervous, searching for
you through the room

Time would pass and they would
move on
Finally I would see you around marching towards me
Delighted to see me light up
We would spend the night cracking jokes
We would go all in that everybody
else would join in

They would say, “I have never seen you like this before”
And I would quietly say to myself,
Because some people are worth opening up for,
But only Some people are worth opening up for.
And that’s Okay.!
