Another Sad Good-Bye

If there comes a day when you must look back on me,
Don't deny me,
But smile personally- knowing that you and only you
Saw those secret sides of me I exposed only when we were alone-
Our inside jokes...
Those things I whispered just loud enough for you to hear..
How you sometimes took my breath away with such trivial gestures-- Moments Ill resort to often~ stumbling upon their hiding places~ Replaying them here & there ~briefly everywhere.
These become the hardest lessons to learn.
The ones worth remembering--
Smiles, tears, the sound of your voice-
Exact Emotions-
No symbols, no dreams.
Leaving me on the edge of another good-bye,
Clinging desperately to your last words..L
lost somewhere upon your lips.
Words that could have change all of eternity...
But tragically,
That was before we discovered everything will forever be,
Subject to compromise.
