To meet

And to depart

That's the most agonizing part

When there are emotions attached

And ours was such

We finally met

It didn't feel it was the first time

For we had interwoven our lives

Over endless chats

Making love was obvious

Which we had been sketching in our thoughts

But when we met

The urge to have sex, faded

We simply hugged

Like two souls melted

The choke of the heart rose

Threatening to spill from my eyes

But I restrained

For he had requested no tears

And we stood there rooted

Our hearts in symphony

As we looked into each other's eyes

We choked, wordless

Gingerly, I kissed him

He accepted all that I wanted to convey

Moments framed

It was time to depart

Kissing me on my forehead

He looked somber

Hugging him one last time

I didn't look back.
