if only it was a dream
the furious wind is what did it.
not him.
the heavy rain is what drove him away.
not her.
surely it was a dream.
surely this wasn’t happening.
still, she couldn’t close her eyes
for fear of missing the moment
that was starting to feel quite
real.
not a blink
not a sneeze
not a turn of the head.
all was still in her body
as she watched
him go.
