As if they were saying goodbye

I sat and I watched
their eyes were filled with heartache
she reached for his hand
as if it were the end

The sorrow and disappointments
of the last few weeks
weighed heavily on their minds
was it almost time

I wondered what they were thinking
the silence was deafening
the magnificent bond they share
abounds in a tenacious love

The look on her face
as she looked at him
it touched me so
it was as if they were saying goodbye
