Goodbye, We Are Strangers

I can feel you past me now
Going along your way,
Behind it all
In my mind.
It lives in yesterday.

I can feel the story’s end,
The circle’s close;
Nobody knows.
But inside me it is real,
I’m told it all by how I feel.

Once fully over some weeks
Did it go around without even seeing your face.
The last chapter unfinished was finally written
And played backstage with grace.

It’s all invisible, but it is real.
We’ll never again be close, this I know.
For now we are strangers who never met;
You go separately; and I turn at an angle
Wander into another world down a new ally.

So goodbye, goodbye, you leave me whole.
The dream was fulfilled behind the curtain.
From best friends to strangers.
Now the autumn air beckons
To chapter 2,
Unconnected to you.

I’ll always be longing….
