He calmly watched her walk out of his life,
no begging, no attempts to change her mind.
She was disappointed; she expected some
resistance to her leaving.
Though she had been with him for seven years,
she didn’t know him well enough
to know it was easy for him to let go when
a woman decided to leave him
or when he decided to leave her, and unknown
to her, in his mind he had left her long ago.
