the last time i ever saw you
I watched you pack your bag,
and you asked me what looked good, on you, to wear, there.

I watched as you ate my dinner.

Never noticed that I didn't dine, as well.

You asked where the old boxes of photos were.

You went on and on, excitedly...

A self~involved child,
showing me things you feel as though you'd skipped.

I said to you 
that I had gotten you something for luck.

I brought out the antique Spanish stamp.

You took it without reply.

Then you sheepishly grinned,
and responded.
I got you something for luck, too.
You reached into your wallet,
where you placed my magick gift.

And you tried to hand me twenty dollars.

I did not reach for it.

"For luck." You said.

"Via con Dios, mi amigo." I said low.

"OH, yeah... you too."

I realized at that moment 
that my heart 
could comply with exactly what you wanted.

And never miss you, again.
