Maybe

 He said it soft,

as if his voice

could stitch her

back into herself...

"Soon I'll map the places

they all left undone,

soon I'll trace the silence

they kept running from,

soon I'll get to all the parts

that everyone else missed,

and you'll think back to how

it all started with a simple

kiss."

...and she thought,

Maybe he will, 

maybe he'll stay,

or maybe he'll just throw the

last of me away.
