Should've Been Goodbye

7:55 am.

We both were quiet, not knowing what to say or how to say it.

7:55 am. That's when it would be over.. or, that's when it should've been over. Yet, we still had ten minutes.

For those ten minutes, we sat in silence. We were sitting right next to each other, but we felt so far away. We both didn't know what to say, for we knew what would come.

We would have to say goodbye.

7:54 am. We had run out of time, and we both had known it.

7:55 am.

You broke the silence first.

"Goodbye, S..." you said.

"Goodbye, D..." I said.

I stood up... and walked away. I couldn't keep the tears back anymore. When I looked back, I saw that neither could you.

That's where we should've ended. That's where we had said goodbye, but that didn't last very long.

Had October 10 been our goodbye, we would've saved ourselves a lot of pain. We would've still had a chance.

But it's too late now.

Goodbye, D.
