Painful Parting Part II – The Parting Song

With the sky as the roof,
We looked at the distant stars, and realized
Of the closeness. The clouds came and
Took away our stars, but
The feeling remained.

In that warmth, we have melted, in
That gust of passing wind between us, we have
Found the untouched touch that
We neither owned nor orphaned.
Somehow, it smelled a bit of me and
A bit of you.

The clouds are no longer hanging
Their curtains on us, but in that newfound
Closeness to the stars, we have fallen miles apart.
And in that muffled breeze, we started
Singing our songs, not knowing
If it'll bridge the distance or just die in
The impending silence.
