I overstayed my welcome didn't I?
Of course I did.
I knew it was time to go when your eyes no longer glimmered at the sight of me.

The hello's were strained, there wasn't even a glint of enthusiasm.

I knew it was time to go when I became too dependent. I couldn't afford to look at someone with so much trust.

It was time to go when your whole body would stiffen whenever we made brief contact. Hands touching slightly and I could see it triggered you.

I had to go.
I had overstayed, of course I did.

The goodbye at the garden was something from a poorly written screenplay...

You looked relieved...and if my absence alleviates your pain, I shall stay away.
