and that was that

he didn't want
to tell her

he didn't want
to share the moment

the decision was
important

and he wanted to
keep his feelings
to himself

for he truly knew he
and how it was
supposed to be

and that was that

she sensed something
and he let her

she felt something
and he dissuaded her

her logic was
unimportant

so she learned to
keep her worries
to herself

for he truly knew she
and how it was
supposed to be

and that was that

now he looks
at the aftermath

and tries to reason

and she listens
to his words

and tries to smile

both feeling
a change they can't
alter

faltering at words
that should come
naturally

to two once free
with each other

but that was that
