last days of winter

Winter was suppose to end
a couple of weeks ago.
My emotions dragged it
to last till this minute.
And its still winter...

But I squint,
squint hard
(after all, im myopic)
and there in the distance,
i see the flowers, the sun,
the birds, the river.

Spring.
Its here at last.

My cheeks were wet.
Hardly ever dry.
For that mysterious liquid
they call tears,
has been flowing.

Even through winter,
It didnt freeze.

But just this afternoon
i shed the last couple of drops.
Clueless to why they appeared,
this afternoon.
But they're drying up.

The tear stains
remain there tonight.

By morning tomorrow,
They'll be gone.
And this whole drama,
would have ended.
The emotions are far out at sea :)
