Day 99: Nothing less and Nothing more

Long conversations with friends often seem to alleviate the obvious things to a different status, mundane things sometimes become interesting and sometimes brought to limelight. A long conversation with a friend back home went in multiple directions yesterday, it made me realize how clear and aware we are of our own insecurities and yet how confident we appear to the world about dealing with them. And though we are inclined to ask each other tough questions, we still choose the ones we want to answer. Nothing less and nothing more is expected from oneself and it is in this comfort we share with friends that we find our soul renewed from time to time.

Nothing less and Nothing more
There has been nothing less and nothing more,
Nothing else that hasn't already been told before.
That has given us hope and scared us at times,
And yet the precious glimpses into whatever you call "yours" and I call "mine".

How the world of distant past and insecurities,
Like glimpses of a story we once wrote, and nostalgia in lost memories.
How worlds apart can meet and closer things seem afar,
How we question that which defines us everyday and yet keeps us who we are.

Nothing less and nothing more tonight, this day can slowly unfurl at it's own pace,
We can talk about distant things and plan ahead with no guarantees and bets to place.
We have all grown in someway, I often question how and in which way,
Have we tipped the balance scales, have we refused to ask some questions someday.

In conversations on a Sunday morning, as it finds reasons to reach afternoon,
You will be carried far from troubles and worries that sometimes haunts you too soon.
And yet nothing less is expected my friend, in time we will remain as something more,
We will be the last phone call sometimes, and the last knock on a closed door.
