I woke up to the sound of
his footsteps in the hallway...
     Leaving

My heart was pounding in rhythm
with each step

When would he be back this time?
I worried about forever.

Should I get up?
Should I hug him close?
Should I say goodbye?

Should I lay there and regret
Not seeing him one more time --

But then...
There's his eyes,
Sad, unsure, concerned...

I still remember them from last time.

He didn't want to leave me with that again
He wanted to leave me with last night
Our last time together...
     Possibly forever.
