The final glance

 

 

The final glance

Before I turned away

It was short

But it lasted

Stretched over hours

To the car

To the drive home

To the stairway

Until it hit me

And my heart sank

Lower

Deeper

Loneliness prevailed

What will I do?

Where will I go?

Who will I talk to?

And then I realized

It is not forever

Temporary

But today

Is the first day

And it is the hardest

I will get through it

In time
