Moonless Sky
The frozen bench beneath.
The moonless sky above.
A tomb, touched by a gentle hand.
A single tear, and a smile, before she walked away.
He watched in silence.
Another year passed away.
He was grateful she did not see him.
He had his own respects to pay.
His own penance.
This man could hardly absolve him.
Yet here he was.
Just like last year.
Just like she had been.
He longed to know why.
Would he ever ask?
Then her hand was in his.
The frozen bench welcomed.
The moonless sky a witness.
A new year for them both.
