Stood by the entrance of a coffee shop, Dark green t-shirt, burnt papers in hand, The last exam solved, the weight lifting off my shoulders. Friends around, a drink in hand—laughter in the air. If I had known that was the last time I’d see you, I would have cherished every second. I would have gone for the hug instead of the fist bump. I would have taken a picture with you, by the mirror, So time couldn’t steal the moment away. I would have ignored the world—every friend, every noise— And given you my full attention. I would have frozen time in the moment we stood side by side. I would have known that your journey home Was the path that would separate us. I would have looked into your eyes and stayed there, My gaze filled with nothing but love.
