she wipes the tears from her eyes,
he reaches to caress her face
he speaks,
she nods,
looks away and gives a reply.
they embrace---
they kiss---
exchange little nothings
suddenly time seems too fast
but what to say?
she fixes his collar
he gently touches her arm
they look opposite ways and light up
cigarettes.
she leans on her luggage,
wipes another tear,
he looks at her and speaks
consoling words
they again embrace
longer this time---
how long will she be gone?
touch and words---
how to fill the upcoming absence?
they look at each other
one final kiss.
he takes her suitcase and
they walk hand in hand to the platform.
