Felt like it was just yesterday when we met at the marketplace
As we walked past each other
We knew in that instant
We could only go forward
Even when winking stars of electric-light forewarn a tale of heartbreak in disguise
…
That night
Under sweet Maa’s velvety midnight sky
Limbs intertwined
Our home drowned in a blurry vision through streaming salty tears,
wise eyes
We made plans for the 'future'
Yet silently in prayer
hoping daybreak does not find its way over the tall tall mountains
We were not ready to say goodbye...
