Drift away

That night when they held our hands

And they asked if we were okay

Bcoz we seemed a little bit too quiet


We nod our head

We smiled

And we gently squeezed their hand

As we hid all our fears


We didn't want to let go

But we knew we will have to

Very soon


We were so afraid

We were so worried

If they would leave us again

In silence


We made them promise

Not to ghost us again


As soon as they left

We cried and cried and cried

We never want to relive

Those dreadful moments

Of consciously letting someone

Slip off our grip

And drift away 


And we trusted them

We foolishly trusted them

We thought they would stay

True to their words 


We thought they will not

Turn their backs to us

We held onto their words

But only to be abandoned

Again
