Every Time I Look

For weeks I dreaded the day Craig packed his bags.
Today was that day. All week I distracted him with going to the beach,hanging around my dorm ,and of course sex. But he finally caught on. He knew what I was up to. I watched him from the doorway. He was halfway down packing. He left the next morning. I was crying . He mumbled to himself as he packed.
"Babe?" I asked.
He stopped for a moment looked at me " You know I have to leave tomorrow!" He exclaimed,annoyed.
"You could act like you're not in a hurry."
I was whiny and mean.
" I need to pack.I'll see you on a month."
I was going to fly out ad tour for two weeks then another five weeks away. In ten weeks, I would be graduated and maybe back on tour. Everything will be different.
Five weeks alone.
"Why are you being so clingy? It's only five weeks."
He didn't sound so convincing .
"I'm not. It's just-you don't understand."
"Can you just let me pack and we will talk after."
I just walked out . Sat on the cold bench outside the building.
I lite a cigeratte and looked around.
"You can't keep walking away."
His voice startled me.
" You didn't want me around." I whispered.
"I'm sorry. It's not like I want to leave. I just ,it's how I function."
His voice was soft and his arm was around me.
I nodded. " I know."
We went inside . I was still upset but I needed him.
