Sadness was written all over my face
Though I laugh out loud, hearing your jokes
My heart was tearing apart, knowing you were leaving this place
Prepared to move in new spaces
I barely could hug you
I just smiled while we parted
The moment sank in
I just could think of this goodbye
As a pause
Yes, a pause.
Nor the more nor the less.

The well lit room
glows warm,
the fan, cool against my shoulder.
i've talked to you,
coffee infused lips
creamy crisp
milky flavors dance
to the fizz of my brain.
The ice, all shrunk,
slips down my tongue

with a yawn,

a warm glow
in my arms.

a, comma, tells, us, when, to, momentarily, pause, or, when, things, don't, belong, together, because sometimes there are people like me who don't know when to pause who can't find the remote who are afraid to stop because what if they never start again?
please never put a comma between you and i.
