Forever Goodbye

by

Katherine Tildes

You think you know, but you don’t.
Suddenly you wake up one morning
and realize he’s not the one.
And you lean over,
stare at his sleeping face,
as tears overflow on yours.

You can’t help it.
You love him
and he loves you,
But you can no longer handle it.
The silence,
the uneasiness,
the wariness in your heart.
You wonder if he notices the
panic in your eyes,
the fear and doubt that reside there.
You wonder if he thinks the same way.

There is nothing left to do but say goodbye.
One more morning together,
one more breakfast,
one more kiss,
forever goodbye.

You place the note you wrote earlier
on his desk by his laptop.
You leave the keys on the table and
get into your car.
All your belongings are there.
But you heart still feels like its inside.
You begin to cry again
as you pull away.
And as you take a left onto Summer,
you see the house one last time.
Goodbye you say one last time.
Goodbye.

Why don't you look at A PASSING SOUL
