The Last Time We Said Goodbye
When I think of you
a smile begins to form;
lips parting, a hint of teeth
visible beneath them.
I close my eyes,
the memory takes hold
Smiling and laughing,
the scene playing in my mind.
Lifting my arm, fingers apart
Running them through thick
red hair, looking in your eyes,
it’s time to go.
Arms wrapped around your neck,
pulling you close to me
I stay, holding my breath,
keeping the moment.
You step back, our bodies
fall apart; arms crossed
hands in pockets, smiling
and turning away.
I look back to you,
saying one more goodbye,
caught in the sun’s light,
your heads on fire.
