Gently he lay his head down

Knowing thait it was the last time

On her lap

She casually stroked his dark hair

Oblivious of the coming

With her feather light fingers

No words exchanged

And there was an uncanny silence

Piercing his heart under the whistling

Of the fall's wind

He hugged her tight

And kissed her the last time

Then ran home like a little boy

Without stopping to look back

She waited for him under the same tree

The next day and the day after

Till the next season's rain

Hoping to see him somewhere

Amidst the heavy downpour

As all clouds cried out her pain

She longed for him forever and ever

Knowing that she was never to see him again...
