I Promise

Last autumn was when they met for the first time, polite verses were exchanged and both parted ways.  In spring, there they met again and had a whole good season spent.  However, time waits for no man, summer came and they never saw each other after that.

 

They found themselves standing opposite each other but there was only silence.  Words were not necessary to enable communication, they knew each other too well to know what to say.  They had completely understood each other, as if they share the same space mentally.  Eyes met, tears flowed freely, fountain like, quickly yet gentle.  Feelings suppressed inside projected out instantly, no shame, no control, their wish had been granted at last.

All sorrow that happened for the past few months did not matter anymore.  What's important right now is that how long can this last, the longer it better be.  Forevermore is the best.

Wait for me, he said, be of good joy and be patient.

Yes, I promise you, said the lady.
