You Came Back
This time...

You came back
I wasn’t expecting that
Usually, they just pretend
Say 'see you later'
But there is no later
.
But you came back
.
I acted weird
That’s normally how it goes
I watched you walk away
I’ve seen that before
I said a silent goodbye
.
But you came back
.
Your seem uncertain
Standing in the doorway
Hands in pockets
Waiting for me to explain
I don't know what to say
.
They never come back
.
I hold you close
Say a dozen sorries
Breathe in your essence
Wonder how long until
I finally push you away
.
But this time, you came back
