Apart

I remember our parting

How you called my name

How I turned and looked at you standing there

Holding the umbrella

Eunice

Eunice

Talk to me

Talk to you?

About what?

I felt like shouting back at you

But I cant, I wouldn’t let myself even if I wanted.

What’s with the distance between us?

It is widening sweetie

It is big, deep and treacherous

I know am pushy and I want things to go my way

I know I asked you to come along with me

You know why?

Coz of the distance that’s drifting us apart

I wanted to have some time with you even for a moment

To hear your voice

To see your face

To bring us back to our one part

I wanted you to myself

But

But

I didn’t know how to say it

Or if I did, I said it wrongly

I just watched you walk away again today

Clutching at the umbrella

Rainy days ahead

As we walked away

We glide further apart

I walk south

You are on North.
