She faded slowly out of sight.
I had kept her in my view.
Just as you did for a while.
She never looked back.
Not for a long, long, time.
When I could see her no more,
I turned to relax in your arms.
But you... over my shoulder
Watched her return.
Even beckoned her.
I could not see her.
But I could feel you.
Now holding us both.
Her a little tighter.
And me out of loyalty.
So I let go of you.
And walked away..
Just as she did.
And had I not looked back.
I would be unaware
That no one watched me go.
