They simply cried lamenting their separation from Krishna and connected with Him by lovingly remembering the sublime pastimes they had had with Him. On one occasion there was a solar eclipse. At the same the devotees came from Vrindavan and Dvaraka (where Krishna had moved to) to Kurukshetra. So now they are seeing Krishna again. But this time He is different. He is now a sophisticated Dvaraka prince. He’s not the sweet, young, innocent cowherd boy they knew. So Radharani described to her friend what is was like to meet Krishna expressing how much she wanted him to return to Vrindavan:

priyaḥ so ‘yaṁ kṛṣṇaḥ saha-cari kuru-kṣetra-militas
tathāhaṁ sā rādhā tad idam ubhayoḥ saṅgama-sukham
tathāpy antaḥ-khelan-madhura-muralī-pañcama-juṣe
mano me kālindī-pulina-vipināya spṛhayati

TRANSLATION

“‘My dear friend, now I have met My very old and dear friend Kṛṣṇa on this field of Kurukṣetra. I am the same Rādhārāṇī, and now We are meeting together. It is very pleasant, but I would still like to go to the bank of the Yamunā beneath the trees of the forest there. I wish to hear the vibration of His sweet flute playing the fifth note within that forest of Vṛndāvana.’”
