A StOrY...of "timing"...

They got to learn about each other in school. He saw her before yet she has no idea how he looks like. Heard of his name, kind of figured out who he is. Chatted on net and were pouring sorrows at the same time. They had never met each other face to face till a vague introduction was made. Nothing was said. Nothing progressed.

She left school first and moved to another stage of her life. Got in touch again but this time something was in spark. However wrong the timing was then, they kind of wanted to figure out if things can be worked out. Times were spent, painted with a picture, a thousand words can never describe. A series of events led to some others. Mostly unpleasant and heartbreaking. He backed out not wanting to make things worse. He took a step forward after some time when she was in a mess. He forwarded, she backed, wanting him to move on better.

Years gone, friendship remained unchanged. Both went through stages of life as per normal. Updating each other once awhile. That special ringing of connection still tingles. The conversations of both seem to have taken warmth, replacing the winter on different parts of the world.

Timing then, it was wrong. Times spent together at present, zero. Distance apart, a fact. Future of both, uncertain. Timing now and next, unknown.

Will they both make it together for the next winter?
