As he kissed her lips and looked into her eyes, he said “I’ll miss you, you know that right.” She wiped the tears of her cheek and she gave a poor smile. They both didn’t know then or if he would be back. He looked her in her eyes, with his hands holding her face, nearly unable to let go. He kissed her on her forehead, smiled, and then let go of her. Time was running out and he had to go, leaving for what might be for good.  He packed up the bag that was standing beside him. He slowly walked towards the door. As he laid his hand on the doorknob, he turned around to look at her one last time. The beautiful way the light hit her face was the way he wanted to remember her. After a short silence she said “I love you, and I just want you to know that.” He smiled at her and, while trying hard not to cry, said “I love you too.”
