She sat on the curb as she watched the cab turn on the corner … And  like the winds, he was gone but why did it feel so imperative to have uttered those words. In  an odd way, it felt like he was never coming back but he had a return ticket and had left all his belongings. But that was what bothered her the most, the fact that these were just things, in her head, she was an object of disposal, easily tossed away and replaced. It was her subconscious whispering in her ear, “He doesn’t have a reason to come back” although somehow, somewhere in her cerebral cortex, she was told to stay calm.  That night, she laid in bed with swimming words that were left unsaid. How could she?  When she stood there  for  moments after he had said his goodbyes.
