The Back Pack Buddy

I have always wanted to travel across the world. It was a dream. Still is a dream. The talk about work life balance, does come into picture here. It makes it really very difficult to become nomadic when you are so cultured and tame.
Long back this buddy of mine, out of the blue, just so different, had come up with a proposal. Life is short, lets change the way we live.

So here it went as it did , the conversation

Me : And i was like? How can i? what will happen to the chains that hold me down?
She : I too have the chains, or rather more than you i am burdened with the load of the time.

And here the proposal lay gathering the dust as it did not move forward. Years passed, time lapsed , the world moved on.

Me : I wish to see the world.
She : You have done good seen a lot of it.
Me : Not the way i wished to, its been in the matter of flow of the work. Too heavily cluttered to actually allow seeing the world.
She : You have at least done that.

And so did the time move on. Years passed, time lapsed. Hairs grow grey, time finally slowed down or did the thinking change?

Me : My dream is still a dream
She : Mine too
Me : Lets change ..
She : You sure?
Me : yes
She : Finally
Me : You ?
She : I was always, just waiting for you ...

So here it is, two strangers meet. I say strangers for the time had separated us.
