"Please don't leave..." she whispered
She yelled
She pleaded
She begged
She cried
She whispered...
In hushed tones
She always whispered
She only whispered

He nodded slowly
Smiled
Assured
Sat
Embraced

She smiled back...
Knowing what she had done
Pulled
Tugged
Poked
Prodded
Filled his heart

And then she got up
And left....

Leaving him alone and by himself....
