Co-passengers of a while

I met them
Travelled together
Spoke and heard 
those moments we shared

I knew a part of them
A part of me they knew
We knew each other 
Our selves we bared 

A coincidence it was
A chanced meeting
Not something we planned
destiny got us paired

memories remained 
Contacts were lost
Like scribbles on sand 
With familiarity, both were scared 

To be strangers
It felt safer
To unabashedly express and say
things that we never shared

We knew we will never meet
We parted knowing so
Walking away quietly 
Looking back, none dared

I met them
Travelled together and parted
yet in heart they stayed
Only to be remember and to be cared
