The Rustle of the Leaves !!!

"""As the sun sets across the ever

darkening sky ;

I sat waiting for her reply .

The days grew long ;

The nights grew short ;

as every passing second

was measured by the beat

of my thumping heart...

Never knew that time held torture ;

as i knew my feelings needed

a stitch and a suture ;

The falling leaves reminded me of

the good and the bad ;

that life could be as green as

the spring;

and as brown as a piece of wood ;

Never had a single word carried so much weight ..

Never had a single word carried such significance...

Never had a single word meant so much...

As night set in ;

my questions still lingered ;

I felt sorrounded ;

with no way out

I knew i could shout ;

for help;

but afraid at the same time;

not sure what she will

think about me ;

As the night went on;

the questions found a voice of their own ;

"Am i right?"

"Or was it pure hindsight?"

"Can i be wrong?"

"Or was it just the effect of a single song?"

The night grew sleepless ;

the ruffle of the leaves ;

a flicker of happiness

running through them ;

at the momentary wisp of life

that passed through them ;

Funny that they are always there ;

yet you need the wind ;

for them to rustle ;

for you to notice them ;

Should i shout;

Should i scream;

Should i cry;

Or am i a coward

if i do so;

As night walked away from dawn;

my emotions tugged at each other.

I looked out ;

as the orange rays of the rising sun;

gave birth to a new day and a new sky

As i walked to my doorstep ;

what lay there left me on a high..

fingers trembling , i picked up

her reply."""
