He was leaving me
but I didn't want to believe it
so I stood there
hanging on for dear life
with my eyes squeezed shut
hoping it was an awful dream
trying to treasure
these last few moments
until he spoke my name
so quietly
forcing my eyes open
seeing his tear stained face
as he grabbed my hands
to make me let go
of the tight grip
I had on his shirt
as he kissed my forehead
letting the door silently
close behind him
