I know you’re about to go
You told me some time before
You told me your reasons
I accepted them without comment.
The day lumbers ever closer
Once a blur on the horizon
Now surprisingly close
I can see the skin on its teeth.
You kiss me sadly on the cheek
Off to embrace your destiny
I wave with detached abandonment
Still not accepting what I see.
Take care in that bustling metropolis
Your senses exploding with delight
I’ll be waiting here patiently
Nothing will have changed.
Charlie was going away for a few days to a large city. I wondered what it would be like for a small town person watching his love leave for the Big Smoke, expecting her to return.
