Why have you become so silent, he asked me 

Coz there's nothing left in me, she replied 

You can't be bereft of feelings, he contested

When feelings bring sufferance 

I prefer to remain barren, she replied 

But I am here, why do you feel despondent, he assured

You are here for now 

You won't be forever 

But my love seeks you forever

Coz I feel for you like none other, she replied 

She hugged him steadfastly 

Till she could absorb his fragrance 

And left

Forever.
