The Last Date

She puts her arm around him and rests her head on his shoulder

She catches a breath to gather some courage

Her lips go dry and are at loss of words

She cant tell him but wants him to know

She wants to go back but does not want to let him go

Together for years but not anymore

Her phone rings and reality hits, its her husband

He releases his grip around her waist, looks into her eyes, moist and red

Her lips, dry, yet pink; her face, sad, yet beautiful

He reaches out to her lips and she does too, just like they always did

She stops herself and so does he, they turn around and start walking
