Broken Lips

My chin was starting to ache in that long continued sitting position, when I was interrupted with that question.

"You didn't answer me".

I know that's not a question, but it is. When I slowly licked my lips to escape, it was salty.

"I don't know how to put it, but I am willing to lose her... to sustain my freedome with me". When I smiled my lips broke.





"Well, It's time for me to go. Coming now? ".

Looking at the sea I just nodded for a simple 'No'.

I had the freedome to stay back! I coudln't smile as my lip was broken. But I don't know why I am not crying.
