A Love Story
A LOVE STORY
By: Charlotte
There was nothing I could say. There was nothing I could do.
I watched you gather your things, pack your bags,
and set them by the door.
There was nothing we could say. There was only silence
and the strength to hold back tears.
Looking into your eyes, as you picked up your bags, I knew.
I knew you loved me...you just couldn't stay.
Before you left, you held my face in your hands, and held me
as if it were the last time.
I heard you whisper, "I'll come back to you."
You kissed me ever so softly, and then you walked out the door.
You didn't hear me, but I also whispered....
"I will wait for you."
Then you were gone...Vegas bound.
Sometimes when you love someone so much,
you have to let them go.
But I can still miss you.
