Tiny translucent drops glaze the windows
The rain falls steadily as they gaze out
Together for the last time tonight
Smiling at the disappearance of the last sunlight
Two mugs of coffee turning cold
Fingers inches apart yet they don’t hold
The tension lies thick in the air
Mingled with longing and care
He traces her face to commit to memory
For there will be no photos to prove this theory
That they had loved and lost each other the same night
The world had torn them apart with all its might
She would have destroyed the world had he wanted the same
Yet what was to speak of a relationship that had no name?
She stirs her coffee aimlessly without meaning to drink
Their journey together had come to its brink
Tomorrow she would leave and never be back
He had come to bid her his final goodbye
Wanting to comfort her and take all the blame
Yet how could he make her stop without a claim?
They rose with their coffee mugs and emptied them in the sink
Laughing they closed the distance within as he held her in his arms
Reveling in the companionship for one last time
Before they would be separated by the society’s norms
It was with smiles that they drew apart
She went into her room and plopped into the bed
He sat by the fire place his eyes red
He promised he’d be gone before she would wake
She knew she wouldn’t sleep a wink whatever it takes
And sure enough at sun break she stood by her window
Watched him walk ahead into the meadows
He glanced back one last time, his eyes shining
She waved with finality and watched him disappear into the lining….
