Leaving
Hurts

It hurts to leave,
Even if we've only
been together
For three weeks.
We both work,
That gets in the way.
At night I feel so
alone in the dark.
All I want is to be in
his arms.
Saying goodbye has to
be the worst,
With the knowledge of going home alone.
My bed seems so
solitary,
Even if I have pillows
and teddy bears.
It just isn't the same as his arms around me,
Listening to him
breathe
And feeling the heat on my neck.
Leaving him has to be the worst,
Especially when
I don't know when I'll
see him again.
