Waiting for the moment to sieze her
she saw him through the windows
he had come to bid final farewell
he’d have to wait longer though
He stood where he always would
clutching the flowers, he stood there reminiscing
of the roses he would get for her
and now how he had settled on love lies bleeding
As she caressed each moment, knowing they were final
she fell back imagining the golden days that were now talk of old
her reverie was broken by the ring on her phone
he was calling her, it was playing their song
she reached for it and that’s when it siezed her
Suffocated and choking under her emotions
she realized the truth, he was leaving her, never to come back
tears welled, burning her eyes
she let it ring as she turned back to the window
As his wait grew old, a cloud of uncertainity passed over his mind
had she been more mature in leaving it all behind
& as the clock tower marked the passing of another hour with a chime
he realized, he had never thought, the last wait would take so much tym
She was preoccupied in her own battle of how to face him
he was waiting, she could imagine a similar pain too
she saw him, staying still hidden behind the tear curtain
she saw his growing desparation… and then she watched him leave
Emotions gave way to silent screams
what were enslaved in the mind, were now flowing freely on her cheeks
anxiety, desperation, love and other feelings broke her from her dreams
she knew she had to act fast, for isolation is a pain difficult to unweave
Hope was burning… the dying lights of an ember
both had faced sorrow, shared joy, and made promises which they did remember
she was running down the stairs, deciding not to leave things to happenstance
while he turned back, giving the lady he loved, another chance
As fate would have it, they met, though from across the street
and as there eyes met, their hearts did skip a beat
the feeling they had when they first met in their teen,
the same feeling was now rekindled in between
But as time and tides never wait for none,
They knew they had to, but, bid a farewell
They wanted to go against the heart’s cry
It was telling the truth, which they wanted to deny
No no no, was a continuous scream from the heart
You have no rights to do so, they yelled at HIM
the bleeding heart appeared before their eyes,
they knew what had come to an end as dreams took a sad demise
Although they were standing just few steps far
It was life’s toughest moment, to cross the path
Should we hold each other in our arms
or is there nothing left in our charms
She clutched her emotions tightly, and pretended to be bold.
Touched her heart firmly, and gave an acceptance nod.
Nothing I want more than a smile on your lips,
These were the only words uttering both beats
Not in each others arms though, they met at last
but as lovers whose friendship outlasts
sands of time and waves indeed do not wait for anyone
these two didn’t need it, they were already together, already as one.
