Wait, Walk

Wait!

Wait, Wait! 
I lost that train of thought,
Remind me again, 
What were you saying! 

I was so lost! 
I couldn't hear you... 
Wait! Let me get back! 
Let me reset. Wait!

Oh! You are leaving!
Already? Its not even noon! 
Will I see you tomorrow? 
Probably not! 

I was so lost in you!
Even you were lost... 
I don't know where. 
Pretending to converse. 

Maybe I should leave too. 
Why am I still sitting!
Its sunset! Getting cold. 
I try to stand up! 

I start walking... 
And I walk... 
I meet so many people, 
So many souls! 

Wonderful people, sincere souls! 
Sometimes, somebody stops,
walks with me.. A mile or so!
Then their own way! 

Some persist with me. 
I try driving them away. 
Mostly, I succeed. 
Sometimes, I fail. 

I keep walking,
Walking, walking...
I faint, I fall, I wake, I walk! 
"Wait!", somebody said.

I heard. 
I hoped it was you. 
I daren't look. I didn't stop. 
I kept walking.
