I drove away today
and wondered that same wondering:
if this will be the last time.
I swallowed hard.
I drove.
I thought,
I forgot to use your nail polish remover,
I forgot to give you that massage,
I forgot my rings on the guest dresser.
And then I thought
perhaps this was on purpose
so a part of me will remain there
while I am gone
if only temporarily.
So I'll have something
to come back to.
