Separate ways

They went their separate ways.

He went first of course.

And she lingered on. 

But they went their separate ways.

They didn’t look back. 

Their love didn’t go on. 

He continued hiding. 

She kept longing.

But they went their separate ways. 

Their path crossed once.

Those eyes glimpsed for seconds. 

Though their lives crisscrossed.

They were never near. 

So they went their separate ways. 

She prayed he is happy.

And he prayed she is forgotten.

But they went their separate ways. 

No happy endings.

Just pages thorn.
