'how's Life'

Remember when we met up
Laughed, talked about life
Times were good

Now look at us
Sitting in silence
Staring out the window at the snow piling up

Can't answer "how's life?"
Without getting choked up
And you know it too

You haven't had it much easier
So we sit in silence
Embracing each other's presence

Your phone rings
"gotta take this"
Some talk about some serious business

"I have to go"
A kiss on my cheek
And out to the snow

I watched you leave

Never to come back into my life again

very well put- true love learns to leave, to let go and be strong to move on. Mohan

agreed, but the one who loves truely has to develop the strength to let go for he/she wants the happiness of the loved and be ready to sacrifice one's happiness. it sounds strange but it works, though it is tough and a long process over time. ultimately, one find peace, self respect, nearness to god, possibly a more truer love in this process. light and love.

The love that leaves could never be true love
