Watching the clock every minute changing to the next willing time to stand still but for every minute that passed it was as if 3 were taken from that mocking number ever moving me closer to leaving your arms stealing your lips from mine and your hand from my face that produced endless tears You held me close as I cried wiping the tears kissing them away holding my gaze while I searched your eyes we both glanced at the clock knowing what it would say "It's time to go now" I held back the little girl within myself the one who wanted to grab ahold of your neck refusing to be pulled away from the comfort and security from the safety of you I wanted to scream NO YOU CANT MAKE ME IT's NOT FAIR JUST ONE MORE MINUTE JUST ONE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY My silent tears against your chest as you held me for the last time was the only thing that purged forth from my soul as silently and innerly I wailed as if a dagger had been plunged deep into my heart being twisted by an invisible hand You kissed me one last time held my face in your hands and whispered into my ear "Be safe Jen" SAFE I didnt know what that felt like until you held me SAFE A word I had heard but could not comprehend until you I boarded the bus and watched you standing there as we pulled away windows tinted dark you couldn't see my tears but I could see you with your hands in your pockets having no one to hold any longer I crossed my arms and held myself tightly as I saw you wave one last time before disappearing into the distance "Be safe Jen" you whispered SAFE I will always be safe when I close my eyes and remember you I wont ever forget I miss you....
