I'll never see your face again...Part 2

The time passed slowly, flying above the ocean.
As soon as I landed back on earth
As soon as I found reception
The first text went out to you.

Herculean courage to type those 7 words
Re-read the text so many times
Before I finally sent, “back from the trip. How are you?”
Waited for a second and almost regretted having sent.

An instant reply, “m good, cn u talk?”
Had my heart racing like mad.
Maybe you wanted to fight some more.
I’ll hear you yell, sober this time.

Sheepishly escaped my parents’ eyes
Drifted away for some privacy.
A sea of unsettling tide of emotions
I decided to be formal with you.

Surprisingly, I heard a warm you, from the other side.
No more cocky, just genuine emotions after a long time.

The wonder struck me when we met in a few days
I had thought I’ll never see your face again
Felt like I found something I lost in the fight with time.
You weren’t different; you were what you used to be.

Back to the mystic chivalry, the winks, the naughty glance.
Making me dance as we walked hand in hand.
Still I had no clue what I was up for.
Till we decided to descend the stairs.

A stair ahead of you, as you followed.
You pulled me back and kissed my lips.
So unprepared it was so clumsy,
But I loved to get your taste again.

A kiss on my hand, and those fixed eyes.
Catching gazes more than ever, but you didn’t really care this time.
For all you had were eyes for me.
And I dutifully listened to you.

Soon  it was time to go.
I wish I could stay, but I had to go.
You weren’t ready to separate just as yet.
Extended your stay a little more.


In our last moments together, you said you’ll come back to me.
The days apart were just as harsh and more to you.
For a moment I forgot to breathe.
Not ready to believe what I had just heard.

Wet eyes, hadn’t seen you like this in so long.
Body and emotions acted at once.
Wish I could you hug there and then.
Back to my heaven, in your arms again.
