Time to say goodbye

He asked her if she was okay...

In the same casual way she recognized of late

It wouldn't matter what she said

She remained silent
She wanted to shout out she wasn't
But the words stuck in her throat
And she simply nodded, 

Eyes turned down so he wouldn't see...
He carried on with his monologue,

And then she wondered...

would he really even see?

The flush on her face,
The lump in her chest,
The quick quiet way she answered him in monosyllables...

Were they not enough for him to notice?
And then she suddenly knew...

He wasn't looking anymore.

Twas time to say goodbye 

He would never really do it, 

So she took the last link & cut it away!
