you

i knew i had to leave soon

so

i held you one last time

pressing a faint kiss to your cold cheek

lingering

for an ephemeral moment

"i forgive you"

would be the last words i say to you

and when i turned away

i think you said you loved me

but that may have been my sweet sweet fantasy

ah

but in the end

it doesn't matter what was real and what was delusionary

for in a flash

a ghost of a smile

and a whisper

i was gone
