The door opens...it's you
Instantly we make eye contact,
but just as quickly we look away.
My mind goes blank, searching for
something to say to you.
Instead of words come pictures; memories.
I thought that those feelings were long forgotten,
but all too quickly they overwhelm my previously
empty and void body.
I feel scared; lost.
I quickly leave the room, not giving the door a chance
to close before my eyes flood with tears.
What I wouldn't give to tell you things I never
had the chance to say.
As I stand and shake from sobbing heavily, the
guilt of out last confrontation absorbs my entire body.
At that moment, my only wish is to die.
However, I manage to return to the room only to see
that everyone is gone, including you.
"Maybe it's best that way," I think to myself," I love you."
