January 20, 2005

the one that got away

What it's like:
I help you pack. As you gather underwear and socks, fold shirts and pants, find shoes, you say to me "I love you so much; I want to be with you as much as I can. I'll be here always."

Finally you're ready to leave. As I drive you to the train station you say to me over and over "I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here."

Then you're on the train and it's pulling out of the station. I stand on the platform, watching the train get smaller as the distance between us grows. You wave to me and shout "Hello! Hello! Hello!" as you disappear.
