Departure

On that October night, when rain got caught in her eyelashes, stars descended in her eyes. I remember the way her arms flung around my neck, her head buried into my chest. I also remember the fragrance of her hair, touch of her warm wet cheeks against my lips. I knew the stars in her eyes had finally escaped and traced their way over her cheeks.

'It is raining,' I stated an obvious, 'Do you have an umbrella?'

Her eyes momentarily glinted, surprised. Then they went pitch black.

'As if you care.'

Of all the moments with her, I remember that last night we spent together.

The way her palms slowly slid from mine, reluctantly. The way her eyes refused to meet mine, scared of breaking down.

I remember it so vividly.

Because that night, with her something else left me and never returned.

My words taste bland now.
My ink doesn't shine scarlet anymore.
