Won't You Just Stay?

By Archana Ambethkar

We meet again in the same street,

We broke up seven years ago.

We just met again in the same street,

We broke up in the heat of the fight.

What’s this feel and now we are in reach,

Where’s the anger? Where’s the ego?

He asks for the coffee and it feels like first date

She is always hottie and it feels like the first meet

Time is frozen and we stayed till the middle of the night

She looked at the watch and it’s time to go back

Her mind was like “Won’t you ask me to stay back?”

Her eyes are filled with Expectation, hesitation and desperation.

His mind was like “Won’t you stay back?”’

He looked into her eyes and chooses Silence.

Yet again they parted their ways with her tearful eyes and his heavy heart.
