The instant that your eyes blink open, I know that it is over, the expression on your face telling me more than the words of your lips.

Silences sneak by past me and out the window, lingering night disappearing into gray morning haze.

From above, your eyes are reproachful, like stone angels mounted on rooftops, cool and unfeeling.

Situated beneath my heart is a tremor of emotion winding down my legs, into my knees, all the way to my toes.

Had you wanted to, you could have made me cry.

Goodbye, Tatsumi. We'll still work together, but this night's over.
