26 Letters(Book 1 in The Numero Lexicon) #Wattys2016

6:Five

Five little fingers, aren't all the same..

Five simple emotions, bound together in a single frame...

It's been well over a year, since they said 'Hello'...

It's been a longer time really, since they decided to let go...

Amidst all the clashes before,there are now tears which fall down hoping they hadn't said no...

A sunflower rests in the corner,

he walks towards it with a familiar thought in mind...

"It's only for five, Sir. Care to spread a smile?"

For it was her favourite flower and here it was for a charity, for those with that deadly disease, which caught her after barely a sneeze...

He bought Five for Five, to put his mind at ease...

He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes...

'I will never let go' were the five words he said to her there at sunrise...

She's far away now, too far to touch...

The man's finished late and the train he's missed at lunch...

He walks down the street giving a flower a time to a stranger,

One a little girl with the same no hair for someone to braid her,

She smiles and kisses his cheek,

"May you have your wishes and your desires."

He smiles sadly before waving goodbye to her...

If only he had stayed by her side,

He wouldn't feel this regret of not telling her...

But he was scared that he might end up losing her...

It's ironic how either way she was meant to go away...

Joy, Laughter, Happiness, Contentment, Love-The five emotions now hard for him to conjure everyday...

He gets tired and sits down near their favourite spot,

A grassy hill near which five horses trot...

He looks at his hand,

Five fingers among which five others used to fit so well...

And he hopes someday he'll be out of this swell...

And he hopes someday he'll visit her up there as well.
