i packed as much of my stuff as i could

shirts

shoes

keys

pictures

chargers

my laptop

but there was one thing i forgot

as i walked out the door

my heart

i left it in the mason jar.


i wouldn't realize it until i got to my friends house.

i parked in the driveway

my heart racing

wondering if you would find me

wondering what would happen if  you found me

then i walked to the door step

my suitcase in hand

i knocked

and when she opened the door

that's when the tears came.


she ushered me inside

 holding me closely and telling me this was the right thing to do

we sat on the couch and she flipped on the television

and then the phone calls came.
