It is the same song…
The same breath…..
That still lingers.
Words don’t come,
As they shake hands.
No smile floats….
Only a nonchalant nod.
Yes, I knew,
Who you were.
This new you
Vexes me…..her eyes say.
I know this…….
This crease on your forehead,
I know of every curve here
But this strangeness in your eyes…
This vexes me…..
She says.
Relax……his smile says.
She gives him time
To explain…….
And when he has,
She wonders of the
Mountain of memories
Embedded in her heart
Should she let it stay
Or let his presence sway
The very base of it……
He cannot wait, he says.
And she has her answer clear.
She carries the mountain once again
And drifts off,
Before he can say Good-bye.
