Soul Retrieval

A note is a very good place to start.
Before the wicked winds of the west drop a house on you unexpectedly.
Crawl into the back of the closet and pen your parting gift.
DO NOT proceed to go, nothing has actually happened yet.
End on a positive, but leave no room for return.
Fumble around in their coat pocket and place the perfectly folded paper, name side face up.
Get the hell out of there.  Run.  Faster.
Hold up....Have you really thought this through?
I didn't think so....why the rush?
Just yesterday you were ga-ga over their ideal nose and dimpled chin.  
Kool it now.  Know that this has happened before?
Let's reacces the situation.
Maybe you don't want to leave.
Now the tears fall like diamonds o a railroad track shattering under the steel wheels of the train.
OH MY GOD.
Please don't leave me.  Please let me stay, staring at your beautiful shaved legs and square jaw.
Question my love do you?  My commitment to this "us"?
Red toenails that adorn these shoes that were just about to walk but instead remained.  
Square lights up ahead closing in on you.  And I.
Twinkling in your eyes as my mind changes gears with the flip of a Dura Ace lever.
Under the covers I can no longer stay.
Vixen that I am.
Wanderlust grabs me away from you.
XOXO...
Yours truely,
Z.
