Gone Away

Finally letting go

He walks away slowly

I

 cannot see his face

Can only imagine the sadness

he hides inside out of pride

It's over now

A moment has come

Memorize what we were

Visualize what we had

Agonize over the loss

Treasure the memories

A moment of hesitation as the car door shuts for the last time

I watch him drive away until the car is no longer in sight.

He's gone now, gone away, to a new life, on his own.

I watch with dry eyes and a tearful heart

Knowing it was for the best and hurting anyway.
