A single tear fell from her heartbroken eyes
And fell so silently onto his bare chest
She kissed his cheek and left
A heart heavier than the one she'd arrived with
She had never been one to leave before today
But she feared his absence
And pleading with him so he'd stay
Was no guarantee
He awoke alone with a moistened chest
His fear arose as he saw the note she had left
"I'm doing something you never did...saying goodbye."
He got up and ran, he knew where she lived but even more
He knew where she was going.
It began to pour and her tears blended with the rain. She made it here,
The only place she might find some comfort,
The place they first met.
She grabbed rock after rock and hurled at this building
Screaming how evil and unfair it had all been.
He saw her throwing and ran faster toward her
She stopped throwing and broke down,
Crying and cursing, missing him but knowing
She simply couldn't change what she had done
Or the pesky fear that invaded her.
He grabbed her by the arms and said "Never say goodbye again."
He had learned her pain
She fell into his arms tears still flowing with the rain
She was a complete mess.
She whispered
"How can you know you won't leave me again?"
He smiled and said "Love, it anchors us together, it keeps us
from ever truly being apart."
Her heart sighed with relief so she asked "You still love me after I left?"
"Of course, you still loved me after I left." and he chuckled and something
Just felt so right.
She truly believed they'd be together forever..."I love you."
*And he truly wanted to be together forever,
And he'd make sure they would be..."I love you too"
