As Usual

She lay on the terrace, 

Weeping as usual. 

Her secret lover was dejected on seeing her forlorn, 

As usual. 

They both exchanged glances, 

As usual. 

She went to sleep with tearful eyes, 

As usual. 

While her lover fell in love 

Again with her, as usual. 

The stars thought their story ended too soon. 

"Our story goes on", opined the Moon.
