It was the last day of summer
Before college started.
You came to my house
The sun twinkling in your eyes.
Your face blocking the sun.
I almost wanted to cry.
But you came over.
Smiling as always.
"Want to go for a walk?"
You asked.
I couldn't say.
So we walked.
In silence for several minutes
Before you stopped
And pointed to the tallest tree.
"When I'm around you
I feel like I'm on top
Of the world.
Do you feel that with me?"
I didn't say anything.
"Ahh that's ok" you say.
"I'll miss you in college.
We have to stay in touch.
But I wanted to tell
You something I've never
Told you before."
And you stopped and turned to me.
I thought this would turn out as a
Love story.
"I hope that own day
You can realize
What an amazing
And beautiful person
You really are.
I hope...
That one day
You will finally see
That you are capable
For so much more."
And at that
You walked away.
No last words,
Those were your last words.
No final hug,
Or kiss.
Nothing.
Just those special words
You had to say
On our last day.
