In between 'Waiting for the letter from a friend' and

'Sending a quick message online,' we moved on.

In between 'Racing bikes down the street' and

'Driving cars in city lanes,' we carried on.

In between 'Staying up for the Doordarshan movie on Sunday' and

'Streaming endless OTT shows at midnight,' we changed.

In between 'Hiding in the closet during hide-and-seek' and

'Finding solace in a quiet cafe,' we evolved.

In between 'Worrying about the next school test' and

'Balancing bills and rent,' we learnt.

In between 'Being afraid to speak up in class' and

'Leading a meeting at work,' we transformed.

In between 'Borrowing a book from the library' and

'Downloading it in seconds on an app,' we adapted.

In between 'Craving for toys and comics' and

'Searching for peace and balance,' we grew wiser.

And as we journeyed on, we realised,

How the world kept spinning faster,

Very deep inside, we longed for moments lost -

A simpler time, where laughter was easy,

And we didn't know the weight of silence.
