Silver lining

"You ever fall in love,
and then in the end,
you just get heartbroken?"
with a quiet voice, sullen,
she asked with a heart she'd let rend,
through the thousand emotions it wove.

All of them hurt.

He paused, then looked back at her,
returning her question with a silent answer
through ardent, sincere eyes
which also told her he had had to hold back many cries.

Even now, he was.

They held each other near,
and in that warm moment
of a mutual understanding,
they found in each other
someone very very dear,
and perhaps everything
that happened was meant
to be.

Therein laid their silver lining.
