The Return to Me

Miranda is a lover and writer of science fiction, short stories, and poetry.

The Return to Me

The Return

I held him tight

With all my might tonight

He reached out

But said no goodbyes

I dreamt he would return

But where he was going guaranteed nothing

Others have gone and stayed

Others have returned but strayed

I wept because I was not sure

His return would make him change

It will not be a return to me, to us

I wept, I sobbed, I wept, and sobbed

As I said goodbye

to us

Nicely done! Your photo is so sweet and says so much. I'm anxious to treat myself to more of your work.

Thank you.

BRENDA ARLEDGE from Washington Court House on January 21, 2020:

Sometimes it is a necessary step for one to be absent for awhile.

Maybe the "us" will eventually find it's way back.

Nice write.
