So Long

it's been so long
but she can still see his steely eyes and shaggy hair
his casual goodbye
hands hanging limply at his sides
tall shoulders bent foward
shrug
nod
he was akward and dark
a gray sweater
a thin smile
she remembers the pouring rain
but her memory holds no sound
her shallow sobs and his insufficient words
have drowned in time
she left him there
he did not run after her or sweep her into an embrace
he smiled and waved goodbye
as if their limbs had never tangled and their tongues had never touched
casual, horrible, impotent goodbye
so long
