Perhaps...

.

In the freshness of the dawn
It is hard to believe
What was said last night.
The darkness gathered
At the edges of my mind
And you stayed in the shadows.
Revelations came in layers
Of suppressed grief
Of ardent unspoken love
As though there would be no tomorrow.
When you left
I was unaware
That you would not return.
However, today is here
And the shefali has fallen.
Perhaps, last night was just a nightmare?
Perhaps you will return?
