No Looking Back

He sat down in his living room,
Waiting for her to get out of shower
Without thinking,
He prepared her some warm tea
And prepared himself a drink

He knew it was not going to be an easy night

How many months since the last time?
How much did he thought about her?
And more important than anything,
When was it that he managed to forget?

Until that same day, 
But a few hours later
Until he saw that woman crying in a corner
So familiar, so changed, so sad

When he realized, she was already in his car
Her story was the same as always
She had not changed at all, still in that same place
It was like it was HIM who left

But he was no kid anymore
He knew that she choose to stay there
Why she disappeared without telling him
And now, it was already too late

She got out of the shower
Ignoring the clothes he had prepared for her
With her wet hair glued to her face
Her red, teary eyes fixed at him
And but a towel covering her body

"Thank you for this...." She said

"It`s not how you think." He answered

He had already decided never again to meet her
No sense in coming back after being left
In his heart, that night was not allowed to happen
And that is what he thought to himself the next day

But still, when she suddenly hugged him
When she cried loudly in his arms,
With her body still warm from the shower
With her hair still wet, smelling like his shampoo

He lost track of his feelings

Embracing her, as he wanted to in the past
They dreamed a night, forbidden
They closed their hearts while opening their bodies
And consoled each other, after hurting and being hurt

The next day, she was given back to her life
To the place she choose to stay, mistaken or not
And he...

He did not look back.
