Silent Goodbyes

you took me back…

Silent Goodbyes

It seemed
so natural
when
you reached out
from across
the room
and took me
to your
secret place
of love
without guilt

of love
without judgement

you took me back
to high school
with
nervous glances
hurried sentences

and first love
all over again

Then you left me
trembling
with a whisper
of a kiss
while silent
goodbyes
were exchanged

and we said hello
to forever
without saying
a word
(again)…
