He had to leave

He had to leave.
She stood at the door.
Still, in silence.

Their fate had
Brought them together,
For a few days.

They knew they would
Never meet again -
Dead end. Closure.

They hugged. He stepped back.
Her gaze was to the ground.
Their throats choked with words.

He placed his right
Hand on her left shoulder,
She raised her head.

Tears tricked down her eyes.

The cabby was calling.
He was getting late.
Running downstairs

He couldn't hold his tears.
He had to leave.
His fate was calling.
