The Shortest Date

The Shortest Date

1 min
303


My heart wrenched

Yet I wore 

A superfluous smile

And bid him goodbye.


We exchanged

Few silent unspoken words-

I swallowed a few,

Concealed a little,

I choked, I muted

When we hugged

And held our hands

Skeptical of meeting again.

On that fervent moment

I promised myself

I shan't cry.


We spoke about the 

Heavy traffic

To the fantastic music

And all other shit

But not once about 

Our pensive mood,

The running time 

The short distance

The warm hug

The delicate touch 

The gripping clasp

And the sweet request.


I did not realize

Our first proximity

Possibly,

Was the last one too.

So terribly

I wanted

So much to say 

But we didn't speak

So formal yet so free

We were then 

Just you and me.


The short distance

 Becoming shorter 

And the destination

Coming closer.


How I wanted 

The time to stop

The route to get diverted

The distance to grow longer manifold.


That shortest period

Of togetherness

I shall never give way

Nor trade it

With any treasure 

In the world.


That sweetness of the oranges

That fed the hunger

Of many decades

The moment of difficulty and awkwardness

To keep moving

At the opposite directions

When several peering eyes

Unquestionably

Must have felt

The fondness, passion, craving, love, 

Closeness

Warmth and adoration

That shall linger

In our minds forever

Till we meet again.

But this time 

At your endeavor

Maybe sooner or later.

Till eternity I can wait

It's etched in my heart

The shortest, pleasantest, loveliest date.
