Farewell

The stars hid themselves in the cloudy dusk sky,
As I finished saying all that I had to say.

Perhaps you didn't pay any heed -
Maybe that's why you could bid farewell so easily!

I recalled the last time I had tried reading your eyes
And you steadfastly looked down to avoid my gaze -
The darkness of dusk had effectively veiled my mute pain then!

But now the clouds broke forth,
And the air resonated with the sound of the incessant downpour.

Shall we ever recreate this evening again?
Alas, not in this lifetime I believe!
