Long after
I made my feelings
clear to her
we met to settle
a
small financial matter
and
say goodbye.
I would never
have left
without
saying goodbye
and
she was not
the reason
I was leaving.
We took care
of business
and then
she looked at me
unexpectedly
in a new light
as if nothing
stood between us
which
led to kisses
and
a lengthy interlude
so satisfying that
I wondered
when we
said goodbye
unable
to keep our hands
off one another
if
the need to go
was
a foregone conclusion
as there seemed
no where else
with no one else
I would rather be
than here
touching her
but
we behaved
as if
this parting was
an
inevitable sorrow.
How
I wondered
as I drove away
could anything
be so certain
and seem
so questionable?
I didn’t know
if
I would ever
see her again
and
would rather not
live on
without her
but
suppose I will.
