He said hi

She shrugged

He asked why

She shrugged again.

The grey sky

Was heavy with rain

But he thought he could still see

The sun peeking out.

Again he asked,

Why?

She said why not?

He said 'but....'

She stopped him there.

And so he was split

The gash deepened a bit

A conflict in his soul

Whether to stay or go?

His feet dragging him away

His heart willing him to stay

Her eyes enigmatic

Her soul a mystery.

And so they stood

Whilst the sky darkened

And the lightning flashed

Burning their silhouettes onto memory.
