the last time

"If we ever see each
other again, please
don't even say Hello."

I smiled weakly,
looked you in the
eye and nodded;
you smiled back,
just as weak
as mine.

"hush now." you
spoke. little
did I know
there were
tears rolling
down my cheeks.

you wiped them away--
for the last time.

"It's better this way."
you continued.
"Sometimes, two
hearts like ours,
just don't love the same."

I looked down as
you kissed my forehead;

and I never wanted to
look up,
knowing this will
be the last.
