Gone.

And you left before the final ' good byes ' were said.
You had left centuries ago.
Gone to never return. 
Disappeared into a maze that had no way out.
You were gone even before they said you were.
An eternity away from me.

The emptiness in your eyes was so sad.
I knew you were trying to figure out who I was but you couldn't.
The question ' who is she ?' hit so hard.
To think that you could not recognise me after spending so many years together hurt.
I was a stranger,a fragment of your memory that was slowly slipping away.
A speck in your vision that you tried to focus on but couldn't.
A present body,but in your mind I was a mirage.
Dancing off the surface of your mind but the closer you got,the more I faded.
Your eyes glassy,your hands cold,your face blank,your heart....
What can I say about your heart?
Was it pacing at the thought of you leaving me?
Your mind....
Did it replay all the memories we had made?
All the good days we had?
All the bad ones too?
Your soul....
Was it coming to peace with what was happening?

It's not like we even said the final ' good byes ' but am glad I saw you one last time.
