But I Know

I breathe a sigh, when he whispers 

Goodbye…

I don’t want him to go,

but I know...

He must.

I watch as the plane takes off,

I wave in hopes he’ll see,

but I know…

He will not.

It’s been 5 months since

I’ve heard from him,

I write letters, send emails;

Missing him,

But I know,

Deep down,

He has forgotten about me.

I know,

He never once read a word I wrote,

I know…

I know him.
