One more life

“Listen”, he said,

Turning and looking at her serene, sleepy face,

To which, she raised a brow,

Without opening her eyes,

“Don’t go”, he said, “just stay..”

She smiled, eyes still shut,

Tracing a finger on d edges of his face,

Making a mental note of his features,

“You know”, she chimed,

“I don’t want to name what we have,

Not because I can’t,

But because I know, that you are equally unsure,

And also cuz, I don’t want to confine it

To one emotion,

When we could be, a thousand different things,

And for that, we need one more lifetime.

So, meet me on the other side,

And a lot earlier..

And I promise, I’ll never leave.”
