and They parted.

Two pairs of shiny black eyes
gazing in same direction.

two complimentary honey brown palms,
hand in hand.

settled out on hay heaps
basking in sunshine.

legs stretch to full length
lying parallel to each others.

He told him that he was
about to leave for boarding

and she has to be left
both at the age of nine.

fear of being alone
made them sit even closer.

hearts and soul
already overlapped.

one hand on each others neck
both exchanged soft pecks.

eyes shut firmly
unwilling to open.

for threads tightly bound,
feelings made a sound.

sobs rolled down the cheeks
crystal clear on that face honey brown.

They sat till the sun shone
hoping the dawn would never come.

but blue evening covered first
all the thoughts then all the sobs.

They hugged, kissed and
finally parted.
