Two sides of a Coin

Posted by Ramya Shankar on Saturday, September 16, 2006

She said,

I asked, you gave
I misunderstood
I did not listen, I heard
I lacked analysis
I was selfish
I became someone else
I ignored you
I blame myself

I underestimated us
I lost you
I lost my identity

He said,

You asked, I gave
I explained
I spoke
I judged
I was selfless
I searched your soul
You were gone
There is none to blame
I expected more
I sacrificed
I transform

Venkatesh says:

Nicely said.. in real life the coin can spin either ways as "he" or "she" and is very relative.. :-)

Oh well, to look at the brighter side, they'd have saved a lot on their phone bills if they'd talked like this always :)

Ramya Shankar says:

6:30 PM

Kiki,
Oh yes, not always, just this once!

R.S
Perceptions differ as always! No moral intended !

Venkatesh,
Exactly ! Its 2 different sides of an argument between 2 ppl

KK,
Well thanks ! :)

Ramya Shankar says:

6:33 PM

Priya,
Glad to meet u too! :) And thanks ofc

Zii
You are most welcome :D

Keshi,
Oh yes. But as I said earlier, its the way a single argument is presumed by 2 people and the misunderstanding leads to their seperation

Harish,
Oh true, being the optimist, should consider that too! :D
