NEITHER

We stared into space blankly,



As seconds ran before our naked eyes rapidly,



Why?



Why saying nothing seemed to be the last option left to do?



Why asking you not to is so hard to do?







Halfway our solidarity



Your fingers pervaded the immense spaces of mine perfectly,



It made me shiver



For the first time, I do not want it to part, ever







You looked into my eyes,



I looked into your eyes,



You smiled, sincere but briskly



You didn’t even notice how I melted idly







Sealed with a pinky-swear, I said I wouldn’t cry



I wouldn’t even give you a sigh



Or would I ask you why



And to even give it a try







Seconds to minutes to hours, it’s getting near



You’re leaving, so am I, Isn’t that what we both fear?



Now, we’re filled with wonders



Yet, we couldn’t even find the answers







There, the last second, it goes



So I’ll pull my hand away from yours,



I won’t turn around; I’ll go away from you



While on my heart I know, you’re my forever sweetest throe







In the midst of December cold,



There was more painful than letting each other go



That is-knowing you don’t really want to leave



NEITHER DO I.
