Forever, Us.

The last time we sat
Hand in hand,
Wordlessly
Slipping into each other
The silence of that moment
Spoke volumes
Delving deep into us-
Layers of waterlogged dreams
Peeled away.

Leaning onto your shoulder,
I sat-
Savoring your heartbeat
One more time.
And,
As life splurged through you,
I felt alive,
All over again.

You hurled a pebble into the water-
Plop!
The ripples shook me awake
From my reverie, pensive.
I looked up
And found not you, not me-
But just,
Us!

Together, we weave not dreams-
We build life,
From you and me,
To us, and ours.

And as I let go of your hand,
I know-
Its for us.
And I know, your hands will always reach for mine-
If not now,
Another day-
It is just a matter of time.

And I know-
We'll survive,
For each other's sake-
If not for ourselves.

Ain't this Love, my Dear??
