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
