Shirley sat there. Waiting for him to walk through the door. She knew he never would. She knew it was hopeless. She knew it that rainy, cold, and dark day in July when it happened. He left. She had to keep her hope though. She knew he was. She listened to the radio and felt as if it described how she felt.

So I speak to you in riddles because My words get in my way I smoke the whole thing to my head And feel it wash away Cuz I can't take anymore of this I want to come apart

(STAIND’S EPIPHANY)

She sat there and remembered the whole thing.

Flashback:

It was a rainy, cold, dark day in July. She was sitting there by herself waiting for him as she was now. He burst through the door and she saw the tears in his eyes. She jumped up and hugged his neck. Her arms around his body made him feel warm. He pulled away and looked her in the eye and said bleakly:

I have to go.

She kissed him and left. It was as simple as that. She stood there and felt the tears come to her eyes. She tried to run after him, but knew it was hopeless. She wandered why. Why he left. Why he didn’t say anything more. Was this the end? What will happen? The rest of the year she sat everyday the same place she did the day he left and waited. Waited for him to burst through the door like he did that day. Though instead of having tears in his eyes, they would be tears of happiness. She kept one thing in the back of her head though. He never said goodbye. That meant he would be back. The song changed and still Shirley felt it fit the situation also.

Together forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holding on we got to try, holding on to never say goodbye

(JON BON JOVI’S NEVER SAY GOODBYE)

She felt the tears again. When would he be back. She waited and waited. Then heard the nob on the door turn and she jumped up. He came bursting through the door with tears in his eyes. Though this time she knew they were tears of happiness. He hugged her and said:

I’m back! I love you!

It was all too good to be true. All this time she waited and now here he was. While she stood there she remembered: He never said goodbye!
