Again

This time I outright cried,

on your shoulder,

while we kissed good-bye,

while you told me that you’d see me again soon.

Usually, I can be expected to shed a tear

(or two)

because you are going away.

But today was different.

Today I didn’t just cry because you were leaving

(again)

But because this time I realized that you’ll always be leaving.

And each time you take a piece of me with you.
