I saw your face as he took my hand and pulled me away from your embrace. The feeling of your arms around me lingers on forever in my heart. You looked away from me as if you felt shame in yourself, tilted your head down like something has been lost in time. You didn’t even look back…I’ve always thought it was harder for me to let you go then it was for you. But I can see now that I was dead wrong. You’ve always hid your tears away from me, kept me happy even if you weren’t. There’s no point hiding it from me now, it’s as clear as daylight and as shiny as clean-cut crystals from Tiffany&Co. Speak up…speak up...I mouthed to myself, knowing that you would never notice. But it’s okay because I know you would do the right thing. Let me leave you or make me stay with you, it was no longer a decision. We both knew what was going to happen and we both prepared for the worse. If I could I would reach over and pat your back telling you everything was going to be all right, but then I’d have to lie to you and that way you’d hurt even more than you are now. So now I leave you, with some of your heart still intact and your mind not completely shattered yet, but just promise to remember that I loved you.
~&~
4 years from now I look back at our memories, breaking the promise that I’d never try to remember again. I walk down the streets emptied of people and noises in my Converse high tops and Armani jacket, thinking about our life together, how you captivated my heart from the start. Right there in front of a bouquet shop you smiled a bit, waving towards me. One of your hands still tucked away in your casual tan colored jacket.
“Hi.” I said as I faked a smile.
“Hey...” you replied, looking down at the ground.
I raised my hand to gesture a goodbye and walked slowly past you. Smiling like an idiot at the moment, actually thinking you’d call my name, telling me not to leave you again. Wishing that you’d run for me and embrace me, telling me that you’d never let me ago ever again. Speak up…speak up…I whispered to myself and yet once again you hadn’t noticed. And so we live on with our lives once again, like nothing had ever happened. I wiped away my tears before they dropped to the ground.
But before we leave each other for the last time, I need to know one thing.
If you could, would you have run to me?
