His bags are packed,
and he's rolling them away.
'I can't believe this is it.'
My fists are clenched by my sides,
with my nails digging into my palms.
His eyes are sorrowful and shiny.
They seem to sparkle, looking in my direction.
When I look back to meet them they quickly avert.
He's saving my goodbye for last.
I'd like to tell myself it's because
mine is the one he wants to remember most, but I'm well aware that it's just procrastination of putting off the difficult.
I'm raking through every phrase of sweet words my mind can put together.
Nothing seems worth saying.
Nothing seems meaningful for these moments.
Soon enough his arms are engulfing me. My clothing is wrinkled under the desperation of his fingertips. His embrace is tight and needing. The pressure is a brace for the impact of pain to come.
'I want to tell him...'
The dip in his shoulder smells sweet and familiar. The urge to cry is lingering enough to feel a melancholy sadness, without the saltwater.
'I want him to stay.
I want to confide in him,
reveal everything I've ever felt
throughout the turning of these beautifully weathered pages.'
My cheeks are burning with anxiety.
I'm able to pry my lips apart to speak.
'I want to tell him I love him.'
My voice is empty, a container opened to hollow insides.
Logic is overwhelming.
It quiets everything I've hoped for, hushing my hollering emotions.
'What difference would it make?
I'd be lessening the heaviness from my shoulders, only to force him to bear it on his. I can't think of a good enough reason to cause him guilt for something that can't be changed.'
I pull myself back, holding my hands against his cheeks. Without words, and all of the courage I can find, i kiss the center of his forehead.
My body has become stiff, and it's already begun to ache.
'There's so much left unsaid. I'm too late to prevent this...'
Farewells are never meant to be comfortable...
and he's rolling them away.

Unexpected love
It all started so nonchalantly
I didn't even notice me
Falling for you like that
So innocently
Like little kids playing
I feel it so much
When you're next to me
I miss you so much
When you're not here with me
And it breaks my heart
To think that there's a possibility
That you don't think about me
When you close the door
And you close the lights
Do I haunt your dreams
Like you do mine
Like you always do mine
But the real tragedy
Is that even if you did it wouldn't matter, you see
Because a daydream is all I can do and be
For anybody
I want you
But I can't get over all this fucking insecurity
It's crushing me
I can't give you what yo

Lover's Memories
A little luck is all I ask,
And maybe a wish, or two,
That will guide me from this barren land,
And take me home to you.
A single hope, or perhaps a dream
That drives me rather mad,
Drowns my mind, and breaks my soul;
And makes my heart quite sad.
It screams into eternity,
Far beyond that sabel void.
Into a land where only silence falls,
Within a hailstorm of noise.
So clasp it tight, that little hope;
Until the fracas fades to none.
Forget the weeks, the months, the years,
That we had til you were gone.
Let it burn, and drift away.
Let the ash so turn to dust
To drift across that desert still,
Within the memory of us.

Distance multiplies
Lonely nights spent listening to your breathing, but you are far away dearest,
Are we connected only by a thread of zero’s and one’s?
Like fingers, a never ending link that we bind our love around
It can be quite tiresome to live like this, but…
I wouldn’t have it any other way my love, as I take your sleeping hand in mine
We couldn’t have it any other way
Fingers type and tap and pester, inscribing thoughts of feelings onto our skin,
There’s never enough time, and always enough time,
To be strong
To su

I've always hated how in movies farewells turn into these"I want you to stay" moments. It doesn't seem fair to the person leaving. If you didn't tell him/her how you felt before, you're too late. If you didn't know how you felt, again...too late. If you absolutely must, don't ask that person to stay. There are so many other options. If you truly loved the person you'd be willing to try anything (long distant relationship, go with him).
Anywho just my lame thinking that created this thing I'm claiming is a short story.
