As they moved more motionlessly
This sneaky game of silent chess
At last the time would come to an end on these that parted with cunning grin
A shout of joy far off brought them back
They could not bear the fact that the other was merely standing there
While their hearts were wishing exactly that
Went on throughout the night
The cold winds blew through leaves upon the lonesome trees outside
And caught short glimpses of warm slow light
Their hidden wish to speak would come when at last they met again
