Goodbye

As our hands drifted apart, I knew this would be the last time I’d ever see her again. My eyes water up, thinking about all the great memories we’ve had together. I knew it wouldn’t last. I was a country boy. Unwilling to leave for anything. She was a city girl, going around the country for fun. I was the first time she took more than a day break. I saw her driving into town and asked her name. I fell in love right there. She talked about her journey and how beautiful it had been. I wondered why she would drive through this tiny town. Nothing to do here I think. I asked her later that night to stay. She wanted to go but I managed to keep her over night. In the morning, the slightly dazed girl woke up by my side. We spent the day together. It was a glorious day full of the little fun this town could bring. That was all over now though. I said goodbye and she drove away. I knew these next few days would be hard. I’d miss her so much. Her eyes were gorgeous and her hair was extraordinary. Her beauty was that of an angel. I wish we could live together. Get married. Have kids. But we were two very different people and our dreams just didn’t match. Her car disappeared into the horizon, mixing with the abundant dust. I left to walk home and I knew my life would never be the same after I said goodbye.
