One Wish Before You Go

I yearn to kiss and trace your lips one final time
Because if I knew we were going to be saying
Goodbye like this for the last go around then
I would have done that with you. One last climb
Into the sky of stars so I can always be staying
With those wonderful memories etched in pen,
Remembered as tattoos across my delicate skin.
How I really want to be reliving all the ways you
Touch my soul and body, making the world spin.
This is not to say I will not miss you because to
Admit that I will not miss you would be a lie, but
Walking away is the best thing to do for the both
Of us now. The ache will still be there in my gut,
But I have to live with it. There was not any oath
Or promise strong enough to keep us here forever.
As hard as it was to do it I had to push that lever.
