The deserted seat beside him till yet was not so
They sat there together and slowly watched the yesteryears go
They saw the pastoral countryside through their aging eyes
And birds fly back home across the azure limitless skies
They brooded as the sunset after illuminating millions of lives
And then headed home in pursuit of another sanguine sunrise
Diligently they followed this every single day of their youth
And matched their footsteps through life’s muted blues
Gradually, as they turned grey, undying love they fondly shared
In their carefree laughter many things remained unsaid
They fought all odds and shed tears at what was not to be
Shattered dreams with a new hope they would often weave
But today he sits on the bench lonely, broken with a pain unbearable
Afraid of a morrow without her,for him the loss is irreparable
He wished to reunite with his beloved as soon as he could
Tired of storms of dying emotions, he so far withstood
Just at that very moment, he felt her hand on his , he smiled once again
And his spirit left his soul bereft of any pain
A silent tear dropped on his cheeks from the moistened eyes
And his trembling hands lay still in the empty space, that cold shivery night
