Reflection

Paths cross and uncross,
Meet, intertwine and go their own separate ways
Just like a tapestry with an intricate design
Part of a bigger picture and yet interesting enough to frame on its own

I am in a reflective mood recently.
A friend is relocating to Shanghai on a permanent basis.
It is an honour to be counted as one of his close friends
Although I never thought that I was one.
It is a surprise to find out that he actually has deeper feelings for me
Although I know that it will not be reciprocated.

When paths uncross, its usually a sad occasion
Just like leaves falling beneath the cool autumn sky
Even though he is moving for a better future
Even though I am sure we’ll probably meet up again somewhere
