It's an Empty Box.
We emptied it
Carefully
Because it’s time
We moved on with our lives
And there's no place in that
For a 'you and I'.
So, slowly there were
No tea times together
No talk times
No returned calls
No messages
No visits
No friendly handshakes
No shared laughter.
Heaped insults instead
And refusals
And deliberate misunderstandings
And scorn.
Till a day came
When we both knew
That the box was empty.
So empty
That we should have felt no qualms
When we sealed it tight
And decided to throw it away
Once and for all.
But then we looked at each other
Eyes bright with unshed tears
pleading
"Just a little while more"
And the box remains
Not empty at all...
