Goodbye
I am at the airport having checked in my bags I look around seeking that face...those eyes
...they wouldn't leave mine fingers entwined as we lingered oblivious to the crowd
Where are you?
...talking hurriedly about inane things brittle nervous laughter over jokes that weren't We didn't want to let go..
...ready for boarding...
I look around almost desperately ears straining for that voice
...that never really said the words that never said goodbye until I did
I turn around one last time and hope no one is looking as tears well
up...
"Goodbye"
