He left without a hug 

She pretended to be busy 

With household chore 

And only said good-bye 

Then she realized she forget 

The gift she made for him

But she did not feel too bad 

She could give it to him 

Next time he came 

She did not tell him

She loved him

She was not in the right mood

His stay was too short

She figured

She could call him later 

Then came the shocking message

Flung her into her saddest moment

With soul wrenching regrets

Everything was too late

If only she had known 

She would beg him to stay
