Maybe

By Srishti Gautam

 Maybe in the next version of us
 You are not as gun-shy
 And I'm not so trigger-happy
 We won't be so jaded 
 And have an entire lifetime pass us by
 We still won't need words
 But at least not purposefully 
 misunderstand 
 The ones we do use, in trying to get an upper-hand
 We may be teenagers in that life 
 Instead of behaving young
 And then moaning about how life has played us false
 By letting us meet so late in this one
 We may be the same on so many levels but one thing you don't see
 I may understand, my darling, but that doesn't mean that I have to agree.
