“we Walked In Silence” Poem by persian khushi

Each feeling the other’s battle of detachment
Though our hearts yearned to speak
The iron grip that leaves one breathless and weak
With so many things to say but the words just won’t release
I heard his intake of breath
His hand found mine as he turned me to face him
Both our eyes misty
I blinked releasing a tear
He kissed my cheek
Our arms wrapped around each other
Time stood still
Just clinging to each other in silence
He swallowed hard and caressed my arms
Holding both my hands
A smile on his lips
Leaned forward and whispered
You are only 3 hours drive away
I beg of you to wait for me
My heart flowered as the red petals found my face
All I could do was smile and nod my head
