goodbye

 
you held me in your arms with goodbye in your eyes
I felt it when your soul let go of me
you tell yourself it's better I fly
but I don't want to move from the spot I first loved you

I caught my breath when we kiss
a moment shared unlike any other
it was deep and with a passion
it told me the kind of lover you are
that you connected with the soul of you during sex
touching the truth of me with your desire

I hurt from the beauty of your honesty
it was such a deep connection we share
it said you would love me through the pain
and I ache with belief in you

I pressed flowers in a book
memories of walks in the gardens with you
where we dream anything was possible
holding hands and smiling
I told you all my secrets and you shared yours

I thought the sun would never go down on our love
but the passion fade with time
and you grew restless for more
a person like you belongs to the world
I couldn't keep you if I tried

I die in a way when you kiss me goodbye
I felt my stomach drop and my heart weep
I utter I love one last time
and I whisper I'll see you later

and I know I will because this isn't my first life with you
or our last goodbye
