Manasi. Every line of this haunting, beautiful and sad poem grabbed me. In my heart, gut and brain.
And then I went back to those 5 words above. Immediately I am transported to earlier lost relationships. To the time when they were ending or ended, officially but not totally. The residual love was fading fast but some of it still remained. Until it vanished completely and the silence reigned forever.
It is the way it is. But your five words made me remember. Which is a big part of being alive.
Thank you dear friend for writing this lovely piece.
