At exactly 8 pm;
There's a knock on his door.
It was still happening; he'd let it get this far.
The door slides open; then its closed.
Two figures stood there in candle light.
"It must have been forever" she manages to say.
So she'd missed him; he thought.
"Not anymore" he says; at least like he means it.
She smiles; it was good to see him.
And somewhere in the world the two embraced.
