The part that was left behind.

I had an unexpected good-bye.

Well, it wasn't entirely unexpected. I figured it was bound to happen eventually. I just never knew exactly when or how.

As it turned out, it was on Friday evening on the sidewalk of Geary Blvd. as I was illuminated by the fluorescent lights of a convenience store. I looked up and briefly froze mid-stride--possibly looked like a deer caught in headlights as my brain took in the information--and then I looked away and kept walking, kept walking.
