Mathy Vandhana Sannasi Poet Free verse

Never lost

Is it possible to grow out of it?

Is it possible 
To be big enough for favourite meals
And snack trips?
The taste never changes,
No, In fact it grows sweeter…

Is it possible 
To be serious enough
To not chuckle at jokes
Which were silly yet hilarious 
With nothing but 
The sound of laughter to compete?

Is it possible 
To be bold enough
To forget the eyes
That held yours when
All your worries came spilling out
No matter how shy you were
When you met them the first time?

Is it possible 
To forget 
The coffee meets
That turned into lunches
And walks —
Into all aspects of life 
Despite being in a time crunch,
Waving it off like it was no big deal?

Is it possible 
To grow out of
The very feeling you called home
Which were mostly hearts 
Of the wonderful people
You had known once
But lost a little
Every passing day?

Is it possible to grow out of (that) yourself 
Without the agony of losing
The never lost?
