It was a party for him.
His birthday, promotion, whatever
it was to highlight him.
There were speeches.
He spoke as well.
He was moving away.
He did not tell me.
He gave me a note and gifts.
I kissed him laughing saying we will talk later.
I sat down to my meal
only to realize shortly thereafter
he had left.
He had put his hat on
and left.
Without saying goodbye.
I got up from the table
grabbing my jacket and left myslef.
Only to cry when I reached the buildings doors.
It was my nightmare,
my greatest fear.
That he will leave me
without saying good bye.
