Now I'll Never Know

The car came to a halt just outside my house. I couldn't stop thanking him as his left hand moved swiftly to shift the gear into 'park'. I knew; the only reason i did so was to stall time. I wanted to be with him just a little longer, even if it were only seconds. It was dark out, the streets empty with nothing to light it but the moon's pale shine. This was it, time to make my exit. I lingered a little longer, not wanting to leave just yet. Taking note of my body language, he told me i didn't have to. He wanted to grab something from my side of the car first. I turned to face him, and he shot me a look, eyes full of expression, of hidden sorrow. Gazing into his deep eyes, i knew he wanted to tell me something. Before he could even speak, or me asking what it was, i was sucked back into reality, eyes opening to a sun lit room.
