It was my last chance...

The last chance before you went away.

The sound of screeching metal.

I felt static, I was left in a panic.

You were going to leave without saying goodbye.

Walking through the open door.

Your stance was made clear.

Even though I loved you so dear.

No hesitation.

I still didn’t move because I couldn’t choose.

I enjoy what I have here.

Memories flooding back, it’s a blur.

We spent hours of our twilight. Wishing upon the stars.

Breakfast and sex, in bed.

Laughter and smiles, fights and frowns.

Everything we did in the name of love.

Our love,

Which fizzled out.

It was my last chance...

The last chance before you went away.

A final call before I had to let it go.

I still didn’t move because I couldn’t choose.

Until I recognised your love smile.

A moment that shattered my heart.

I knew what I had to do.

I gathered up the courage I had.

Held a breathe and sighed

Then decided it was time to say goodbye.
