finis
I breathe in and out
On the outside I am the picture of calm and serenity
My shaking hands are hidden inside pockets
You glance my way and your blue eyes, deep as the ocean, find mine
Something unspoken passes between us and I know you are happy with her
Happy without me, in the life you have wrought for yourself
A slight nod, a silent conformation of what we both already know
It is over, our friendship was great, and now we are nothing
No grand betrayal on my part, or yours
Just a parting that was all to soon.
And now I know how secret lovers feel
To part before the dawn and to share a last kiss
A fleeting look that oozes with finality
This is it, All that needed to be said has been
We are well and truly done
This is our end, the end of a story that barely just begun.
