I Held the Door Open

I offered to carry your boxes 
	I wanted to climb in the trunk 
but there was no room 
	in your tiny, intrepid car 
where my body could fit 
	the one that took me to freedom 
without crushing my soul 
  
I held the door open for you, love 
	though I wanted to chase after you 
as I watched you leave with the setting sun 
	to build the world we dreamed together 
I said I was happy for you 
	and honestly, I still am 
learning every day how to live without 
	missing you desperately
