One Last Time
⚫️Not the prompt ⚫️
When people die
they leave things behind
making you believe that it’s only a matter of time before they come back
That their not really gone
just missing
A pack of cigarettes taped to the underside of a dresser after he promised he would quit
A stack of unopened mail just waiting to be opened by his careful hands
A knife left out from the last time he made a meal for you
The Last Time
I would give anything
Anything
for him to come walking in that door
for him to smoke one more cigarette
to open one last letter
to share one more meal
and one last time for me to say goodbye
and to say thank you
i don’t think i realized that he wouldn’t be there forever
that i would miss everything
so please come back
through that door
so i can tell you
I Love You
One Last Time
