I met that man once again
He was there on the train
I stayed quiet... looked away trying to hide
He caught up with me... 
chuckled, smiled, and then said nothing but hi!

I remembered the last time
When his words had won over mine
I had wished him luck & hoped that someday i'll be as strong
This man whose words left me feeling...
that the world has got it all wrong

I had thought then that he has opened my eyes
I saw a new hope... as i began to realise
That it wasn't about money or fame... but about giving another try
Chasing your dreams is what is life

But soon again the world got the better of me
And like others, i was back to chasing things i'll never need
I had almost forgotten about him all this while
And maybe that's why he was there... with his chuckle and his smile

He didn't say much... his guitar was missing
But then, what he had come for today... he didn't need a thing
I am sure he came over just to remind... our conversation of last time
And that's what he did... 
when the man in the mirror chuckled, smiled, and then said nothing but hi!


Thought of this one in the train on my way to Jammu (March 5, 2012).
