Once upon a time..

She walked ahead, He walked behind..
A bump ahead, she tripped and fell..
Oh my! Why so stupid.. was she blind?

He walked ahead, She walked behind..
His pace too fast, she missed a turn..
Oh what a pity!  Her way ahead she couldn't find..

To walk ahead, to walk behind..
She's thinking hard, but she can't decide..
Fuzzy in the head.. A muddle of confusion in her poor mind!

When behind, whether to run to catch his pace..
She's wondered - Or if she had more sense..
When ahead, not to keep looking back at his face!

Confused she is, and yes she can't decide..
For where her heart is, her mind not rules..
Don't lead, Nor follow, He says - come walk by my side..

And he held her hand, together they walked..
No trips No fall, No turns she missed..
Merry all through the journey - They chatted and talked..

Till the road went straight and so did they..
Ahead but came a turn, two ways left and right..
They paused and wondered - Where to? Which way?

Right went right into the sea, Left left straight for the sky..
Where to, which way - they wondered, they argued ..
He was born to swim.. Oh but, She'd longed to fly..

For she no longer knew to fly alone.. to follow nor lead..
Sink she must, or to swim she tries..
But her heart's isn't here.. or is it only 'here' that her heart is  indeed?

Lead n follow, hand in hand, only fairies in tales tell..
A rosy beginning.. through a tough middle..
Oh but only in tales all is well.. For it always ends as 'well'..

She wishes not to follow, not to guide nor lead..
Nor to trot holding his finger..
His faith she moves with.. Not his push she needs..

He swims through his waters.. She soars.. She flies..
For her heart is just in him.. And for forever be indeed..
No sooner than later they meet - When she rains from the skies..

And thats how they lived happily ever after!
