He was ready
Had his bag packed
All the necessities
Comb, razor, deodorant
Jeans, sweater, socks
He wore her favorites to meet her
Laced boots because she loved real leather
Easy pants to comfortably loll around in
The black turtleneck she often borrowed
Brown over jacket in case he needed to warm her bare shoulders
They were meeting once more
He took the train
Goodbyes were never easy.
