Tarannum Riyaz
Keep in Touch
One should keep meeting friends and phoning themif one loses touch even for a few days
one may not run into them for months after
even for a whole year
and after a year when one rings up
the telephone number may have changed
or that line may have ceased to exist
It is also possible
the friend himself may no longer be.
