Leaving

It was time to leave, my work was done.
In one embrace you dissolved all my tiredness.
You squeezed me tight and held me near.
Eternity passed as our souls connected.

One more chance to say goodbye.
I closed the door and you stood there waving.
A feeling of sadness swept over me.
Maybe it was a deep sorrow from lifetimes ago.

As the physical distance grew, so did the sadness.
I wanted to sob; to bring to surface the deep sorrow within.
My heart wanted to turn back around.
My head said no.
