Bittersweet

The thought of never seeing him again
just recently crossed her mind.
Why did people have to move on?
She wanted to move on more than anyone,
but that would come much later.
Now he faced leaving, now he faced battles,
now her heart wretched for his trails.

Was this how people feel
when they happen to be close?
Or was this how people feel
when the horrible word change is uttered?
Either way it was happening.
He was going away- maybe not far.
But all she wanted was him to be happy.
