Together then Not

They had been together for almost a year Their time was ending They had gone out to dinner In the big city One last time Spent time walking around enjoying their time together They were with her parents It was spring The weather was perfect She wore a lilac colored dress It was a perfect night The city was full of magic Soon they would have to leave To head back home north They didn’t want to leave They didn’t want the night to end But it had to They had no choice When the car came around They sat in the back Her parents were in front As her father drove They were quiet Then his hand reached out to her hand Touching it ever so gently They sat holding hands the entire drive Quiet Together
