Would you?

We began to walk together without caring
about where the path did lead.

We walked eye-in-eye, hand-in-hand till
the path disappeared beneath the feet.

We were lost but still together to lend
an arm and shoulder if we stumbled.

Life was aimless, but we nevertheless stayed
good and happy, how I still wonder.

Every night we slept in the woods
you'd wake up to see if I was fine.

Every time a thorn bled your foot
Blood would flow out from eyes mine.

We kept searching for direction
in the maze, searching the way out

We looked around, fought, struggled
and we managed to emerge, but without.

At some point another pair of feet
started walking between ours adjacent.

And somehow that stranger took both of us
on paths different; his force was latent.

"Time" is an enigmatic person
I could never figure if he was friend or foe

But this time he managed to separate us
From each other, without letting us know

I want to retrace my footsteps
To go back to where and whatever I lost.

If to get rid of sorrows I must lose you
I'd stay in the forest; I can't bear the cost

But the question is would you come back
to me, retracing the paths of Time?

Would I ever get back the bliss of your love
Or is forever now, this solitary grief mine?
