That Unsaid Promise..

The movie was on..we sat beside each other..hands entwined..warmth around in that chilled cineplex..one look at each other..a hint of smile on the corner of your lips..a lovely scene was on..the leading pair was getting married in a grandeur ceremony..the hero was slipping the ring on his girl's finger..and suddenly i found a ring being slipped into my fingers..i looked at you and found that sparkling glint in your eyes..you held my hands tighter..i turned my face away..that gesture..maybe in total childish mindfulness..maybe just a spontaneous one..that gesture holds a million unspoken words..holds that unsaid promise..a promise to keep the memories alive..a promise to be there in the memories..a promise to feel the tears under the mask of smile the world sees on our faces..a promise to hold onto to us..

us...
