or from a restaurant where we have dined
when you drive from my home
we say our casual goodbyes
and make our lighthearted jokes
but there is often a moment
I see you as if frozen out my window
your arms crossed
or maybe at your sides
and something makes me want to go back
You appear so beautiful to me
and so vulnerable
I always wonder why you appear vulnerable
why I feel the sadness
The image is fixed in my mind for days
I think back
to when nothing more happened than
we said goodbye again
and I felt the unexplained sadness again.
I think maybe you feel it too.
