The Moment

It was December

It was a moment in time that I will always remember

He had enlisted into the Marines and was on his way to leave

Yet I always believed

that I would have time to let him know that I loved him

Without saying a word, I stared at him

And I thought to myself:

"Don't let this moment pass"

"It may be your last"

But I couldn't find the right words to say

Instead I turned around and walked away

He left with nothing to say

And in that moment, my life changed and was never the same
