In Between
“This poem is dedicated to a Law School classmate
who left without knowing why. It was my cowardice
and selfishness that everything was left “in between””
In Between
It wasn’t a story
It wasn’t a tale
In between, sweet memories
Linger on and stay
It wasn’t profound
It wasn’t on the surface
In between, reticence abound
Face to face
It wasn’t courtship
It wasn’t acquaintance
In between, just friendship
Each keeps a distance
It wasn’t hot
It wasn’t cold
In between, steely hearts
Nothing unfold
Hope it wasn’t goodbye
But just a respite
In between, no words suffice
For any would deride
Wherever you may be
Hope time passes warm and calm
In between, parted by the sea
I longed for your open arms
