Lost Highway

(This is my contribution for prompt and link for lost highway)



It was a cloudy day…..



“Want to go for a walk around??” I asked. “Sure… I guess”... he said “Hmm… yea then…”



We stepped outside… the breeze, the trees, the smell of wet mud, and the two of us, together, yet apart… walking….silence





“Where is this road headed??... Never been here before, I guess” he said, giving me a very confused look.



“Strange… living here for so long, and we thought, we knew every road ahead of us!” I smiled.



“Just like life, I guess….” he nodded



“Hmmm…” I nodded back



We both shared a sheepish grin…. Followed by a silence only we understood.



Suddenly, I turned towards him….



“What if we ever lost each other, on the road of life?” I asked



The recent fights and arguments flashed before my eyes… making me, immediately regret the question.



“I would find my way to you…. And walk with you” he reassured with a big smile on his face…. You?



“I wouldn’t lose you in the first place”…I whispered….clutching his hand in mine…. For the first time in days!
