Lasts and Firsts

Her father comes upstairs.
“Time to say good-bye.”
She turns to me – her tear-filled eyes gazing into my heart –
And gives me a hug for the last time.

His mother walks in the door.
“Almost time to leave.”
He turns to me – a lone tear running down his cheek –
And shows me a smile for the last time.

Her brother comes down the hall.
“Time to go home.”
She turns to me – a suspicious grin creeping across her face  –
And gives me a kiss for the first time.
