I Do Not Want To See You

I do not want to see you

I do not want to meet you now
as just another friend
For what was between us -
I don't want this impersonal end

For some inconsequential chatter
amidst mundane everyday clatter
in circumstances prosaic and plain
I do not want to see you again

Let me keep my vivid memories
with their glorious colourful glints
and not overwrite them with
today's insipid sepia tints
