Do you hear that lad, she said

What, he asked 

The silence between us, she replied 

It's loaded with meanings 

Our flesh has become silent

But not our intense feelings

This might be our first and last meeting 

You will fly back to the river that flows by your field 

And I will remain by the shores of memories 

You and I were destiny's child

And the universe conspired for us to meet

The fire of the lure might have extinguished 

But the silence of the ashes

Will remain for years to come

Atleast for me

Feel this silence between us

For you won't find it anywhere else, my boy she concluded chokingly.
