Departure was not going to be a pretty sight and they knew that.
They sat. In silence. In the presence. In the moment.
They sat. Not knowing how to depart. Not comprehending how two individuals on this earth could be so intensely attached.
They sat. Reminiscing just created memories.
They sat. Seeing but not looking.
They sat. Awaiting departure, awaiting separation, awaiting the pain people feel when not together.
And then in an attempt to disguise the awkwardness, she resorted to their common craving – music. Music is the language that all hearts speak, it is when everything seems in harmony, in unision. She sat humming. He sat staring into space, only he could not get beyond the stalls.
And as Hotel California rung in their ears, the last 2 lines struck a chord – “you can check out anytime u like, but you can never leave” this is what it was. She was only checking out, not leaving. She could never leave, because she never wanted to leave, he did not want her to leave.
It filled her with a strange sense of calm, and she realised, everythings gonna be orite.
And then they sat - until it was time to say goodbye.
