I Could See You Cry...

The moment of parting,
Slowly it came,
We still held hands,
We both felt the same,
I saw your sad eyes,
They spoke of pain,
I felt it’s unfair,
Unbearable, insane…

You didn’t shed a tear,
And neither did I,
But I couldn’t let go,
I don’t know why,
You simply looked away,
At the evening sky,
I could feel it in your touch,
I could see you cry.

I felt so myself,
And I, too, looked away,
There was nothing I could do,
No words I could say,
There was that hesitation,
I was getting in the way,
I told myself,
I shouldn’t make you stay.

The next time, I thought,
It will be more-
Special, magical,
I felt happy to the core,
So, when the clock reached
Half past four,
I told you-
“Meet again, for sure.”

You sighed and said-
“Of course, I will.”
Our eyes met, at last,
The moment stood still,
Suffocating, intense,
The pain could kill,
I looked at you, the last time,
To my fill…

I couldn’t stand it,
Any more, any long,
Finally, I let go,
Turned and walked on,
I tried to be brave,
I tried to be strong,
But I cried, because-
You were away … too far, too long.
