I know it's a no

Are you in love?

In any case,

it didn’t mean to

hang like

an albatross

around our neck.

Neither the question

nor its answer.

It was simply simple.

Thus, you gracefully

folded your arms

across your chest

and said a simple

NO.

It just echoed aloud

and all the goodbyes

ever said to me

marched into my ears,

all at once.

Except for my inner-self,

nothing else moved

with a tremor,

while once again

you rocked my world.
