The Circle of Life

Meeting someone after so many years can be unnerving. Especially if that someone was a very close friend and then something happens you went your way and they went theirs. The silences after the customary exchanges are awkward as you are not sure what to ask next...have they moved on from a past relationship, are they still worried about their weight, do they still read, is it ok if you call them by the nickname you used back then, is it ok to behave like you use to. So many question in your mind and on top of that you have certain secrets which need to be disclosed because somewhere you feel it wasnt your fault and they should know it now...should you reveal or should you kep quiet thinking about the effect such a revealation might have on them..is there any point now after so many years...or do you still value the association that you had long back and feel that this is the person you have shared every secret..every wound, pain,trauma, happiness and so many things and so this person deserves to know the truth..
Sometimes life takes you back to a point where you cant decide if you have to go ahead, step back or stay glued to the spot, take lead or be lead..tell the truth or stay mum...lend a hand or not..clear the doubts or let them be...
And even after all this thinking you cant decide so you let things take their own course and move the way they are moving...
