Last Message

His head hangs low, for he fears each message, will be his last. He remembers the happiness he once brought her. Her smile reminds him. For every memory of every glance, he ever

received from her, gave his heart hope. But now he sits, and waits. Fearing each message is his last. What is it to say? For it to say "I'm sorry," will only imply wrong doing on his part. It

will bring frustration to her mind, as she has assured him there is no wrong doing. Should the message read "goodbye?" Such a permanent word, should not be said until the time has

come and both are willing to say it. So he sits alone, heart and mind becoming as empty as his bed. Fearing that his next message, will be his last. Should it say "I love you?" Though

only three words, this phrase has brought more pain and death, than perhaps any other phrase spoken, or even whispered. Words meant for one person, and only one person, have

been spoken to another, in the before. Now, these words are shared, meaning to one has lessened, and meaning to the other is corrupted. So what are the words he's looking for? Are

there even words to describe, "what," he is looking for? Until they are discovered, he'll wait, fearing his next message, will be his last.
