The Last Time

Walking down the stairs

Halfway

I paused

To smile

And say goodbye

But this time

Was different.

I did not meet your eyes

I was surprised

At myself,

I didn’t know why,

I did not meet your eyes,

I didn’t realise

That was going to be the last time

I saw your face

But deep inside

I must have known

Appreciate

The special guests in your life
