A glimpse of sadness
In her eyes,
In her gestures,
In her smile.
I step away,
Hands slipping from hers.
Air filling the space between our bodies.
Her head bowing towards the ground.
A touch of emptiness..
In her silence,
In her heart,
In her soul.
My fingers caress her cheek,
remembering meeting her.
Was so many years, years ago.
A look of loneliness
In her grin,
In her movements,
In her being.
I turn away,
Walking beyond her reach.
Very touching.
