did I know for sure.
You had given your best effort
not to show how sad you truly were,
how hard this deed of yours had become.
But the effort fell short,
for I saw it in your eyes.
And it was then my heart fell,
began to ache with dull pangs,
not wanting to hear what I knew
was a necessary thing, in need of telling.
I glimpsed you looking at me, then quickly turn your eyes,
perhaps wandering how to begin.
Then we locked our gazes, each unable to say it.
I place my hand on your cheek - softly,
then with the most gently of smiles looked
into those sad, broken hearted, eyes.
Eyes that had nothing to apologize for.
And I whispered lovingly…okay.
Rising I chanced another glimpse,
of the most beautiful creature I had ever known.
And I walked away leaving you, in the hope
that the happiness you sought elsewhere,
had indeed found you having all the love
I held toward you - that allowed me to be,
strong enough to let you go.
