Rainy night

As I watched him walk through the rain back to his car, I quietly prayed that he'd turn around and run back to me. The car starts...and then shuts off. I gasp, wiping the tears from my pink cheeks. He walks towards my door. A knock. He's changed his mind! He wants to hold me! He will tell me he loves me and will never let me go! Instead, he says, "I forgot those shoes". He came back for the shoes, not me. We hug. He says he is sorry. He leaves. Later, he calls and tells me, "I didn't really need those shoes tonight. I saw you in the window and I couldn't just leave." So, please, don't just leave.
