The Time Had Come
My tears fell as I sighed with despair.
He lifted a thumb to wipe my tears.
I smiled as he whispered, "I love you,"
and with a frown, added,
"I don't know what I'll do without you."
He knew the time had come.
His eyes searched mine, waiting ..
I smiled and mouthed, "I love you, too."
We used those words like an apology
for the things we couldn't say,
and things we couldn't give each other.
