Almost Goodbye

Folder: 
Dedications

I thought today would be the end.

 

I looked over at you,
tried to memorize every feature.

 

I expected it would be the last time
I would feel your gorgeous eyes
staring back.

 

I had sensed you pulling away
as I pushed you more and more.

 

I had invested nearly
every thought in you,
and I felt you weren't
thinking about me at all.

 

I said hurtful things,
judged you for your way of life.

 

You could have broken my heart
and said it was over,
but you didn't.

 

You told me that I was moving too fast
and that I needed to slow down.

 

You could have walked away,
but instead you said
you weren't going anywhere.
