It’s a movie goodbye but it’s rush hour
no empty roads to dawdle on
cars behind us continuously honk
In a minute though, you’ll be gone.
It’s a movie goodbye and I softly ask
If you could pull over to the side
You don’t hear me and
I don’t ask again because– well– pride.
It’s a movie goodbye and there’s
All the elements too
The soft drizzle of the rain, the light from the moon
Me, and of course, you.
It’s goodbye, and I wonder
if a part of you is still mine
We hug, I try to freeze time.
I watch you drive away
Eventually, The night turns black.
I thought it was a movie goodbye
But you never looked back.
