Of friendships and distances

There is a tear threatening to overwhelm
There is soft mist in the eyes
There is a smile which is oddly plastered
As we say our goodbyes.

'It is not the end' , we say.
'How can true love ever die ?'
Yet, the devil puts in the doubt,
Isn't it all a lie ?

We cling on a little longer
We hold on very tight
As if the mind is denying
To let go out of sight

Those sudden hugs and smiles
Those rolling of the eyes
The hidden meaning of small talk
The totally faked surprise

All come back rushing to the mind
As we slowly pull apart
And we cling back together again
Nestling in each other's heart.
