Spring

Spring was in full bloom,
as we walked down the road
leaving the sunset behind us.
Everything was quiet,
except our minds and hearts.

And, that's when you asked me,
"Why are you so afraid to see me leave"?
I wish, I could look into your eyes
and tell you how alone
I would be in them, if you left.
I wish, I could tell you how
incomplete life would
be, knowing that you'll not
be there everytime I turn back to look.

But, I looked down at my feet,
and all that I said was,
"I am not afraid.
I just don't like to see
people leave,
because everytime they do,
they take away a part of me".
You look at me, and I still don't.

We keep walking,
and the silence is back.
Just this time,
our minds and hearts
also follow the same.
