Goodbye Kisses
I'm on a terrace drinking wine.
A guy and a girl leave an apartment.
He has his bike, she has her luggage.
They attempt to kiss passionately on the corner.
She seems sad, he looks disinterested.
She waves and walks away with her cabin bag.
He waves back, leaning on his handlebars.
He waits on the corner until she is gone.
Then he carefully crosses the street and takes his bike back inside.
He was never going to ride that bike tonight.
He was never going anywhere.
