they hugged goodbye
but continued talking
old love catching fire again
it was as if time stood still
neither one of them wanting to leave
i watched from a distance
the way she looked at him
and the way he looked at her
then they said their final goodbye
i watched her leave
and him go the other way
but then i saw her
turn around to look back at him
but he didn't look back
she left a piece of her heart in that goodbye
and he took it with him
