like it never happened

i watched you walk away without you knowing i was there - i longed to shout out - to see you turn and smile and wait for me - i ached for that feeling that held us together so tightly through so much

and instead

i just stood silent and watched you walk feeling like our yesterdays never happened - feeling like a familiar stranger to whom you'll never speak again

so i stood silently

without words

and just watched you walk away
