Did tom leave without laura at the end of glass menagerie?

I know it says he can't leave without her and it feels like Laura is always next to him but does that just mean in spirit?

Is Laura at home while Tom is out and just feels her presence everywhere?

    It's a MEMORY play. He left on his own - it was always going to happen - and everything in the play is what he remembers years later. It's been a while since I last saw this, but I think he explains it in his opening monologue and then again at the end.
