"Hey now, stop crying."

He whispered as he pulled away from their embrace,
wishing it didn't have to end.

Taking his handkerchief, he wiped her tears away
as he had done to himself

"My guardian angel indeed."

He laughed with her,
but the fun ended before it even started.

Makoto regretted every step she took as she ushered him out.

If only there were more time.

She thought.

With a wave and a grin,
she had once again watched another person leave her.

But he'll be back. He won't leave...at least not for now.
