Eternity and then some.

So here we are
To go our separate ways
There's a little bit of excitement to continue on
But there has been dread for the past few days
I see them turn to go and I feel my heart go with them
This hurts more than I ever thought
Not that I tried to think about this moment
Or scribble about it with a pen
Suddenly I wish I didn't have to go
They didn't have to leave
And we could go on living like we were
This summer could continue for a few more weeks
Just give me some more time
To be able to say what I want to say
To feel what I want to feel
I don't want regrets to stick with me
Because I hesitated for too long
And then it's too late and they're already gone

Now I sit alone
All their stuff is packed and
Gone
Mine still sits
Untouched
They had places to go
People to meet
And I am avoiding home
Planning on getting some drinks to drink
My sight has become blurred
It's been a while since my eyes started to burn

They were both in a hurry
She had her bus to catch
Saying goodbye was distracting
There were people awaiting their turn
The tears didn't come until later
When I walked back to our room
Her side was empty
Random items littered the floor
He had family waiting
I guess they were kind of mad
My eyes had already overflowed when he came in
I didn't want him to think I was this bad
My feelings were overwhelming
I am sure he was a little bit worried
My crying was broken and wavering
His hug was warm and comforting

I watched them both leave
As I tried to smile through tears
Even as I write down these recent memories
The pressure builds
And my eyes fill
Now this just seems like some past story
I honestly cannot believe I only knew them for only two months
It felt like they were by my side
For an eternity
And then some
