Inspired my story:
I knew it was hopeless but I had to come. I stood on the top-level and looked down at the passengers. They were boarding already. The one time a train was on time, this time.
Oh well, I shouldn’t have waited. I should have told him before he left, before he packed his bag, before he bought his ticket, before he told me he was leaving because he didn’t feel I loved him enough.
But I didn’t and maybe that was for the best. Maybe he was right.
The Day After 
Very poignant story, well written.

Sounds like she’s not sure herself. Maybe it’s for the best.

I’m an old school romantic so I believe if she really loved him she would have asked him to stay and if he really loved her he would have asked her to go with him.

Sounds like a scene from the old classic film Brief Encounter. Nicely done.

Great story Dawn! Seems she is realizing that he is right and she doesn’t love him enough and realizes the truth as he is leaving.

I think it must be always hard to say goodbye, no matter what the circumstances.

I agree Dawn. It is always difficult to say goodbye.

Sad! But sometimes, she realized late only after coming to a point of no return(here the airport where he already left). good take on the prompt…

Last minute doubts – something most of us encounter at some time. Maybe.

Probably is for the best, if she can’t answer the question herself.

Maybe it’s better he goes so that she can properly evaluate her feelings.

Something stopped her from asking him to stay – it was probably the right decision.
