goodbye

Hold my hand

Even as you say goodbye

I want to remember

What drew us to each other

Even though now

The tide is parting

Carrying us far away

I want hold a vision

Of the love that once blossomed

Where now there is only pain

I know the time will come

Dark nights

When I cannot sleep

From remembering

Things I rather would have changed

And yet this breaking is what happened

When seeds that fell

Stayed trapped within casings

Too rigid to open

There will come a time

When my heart will remember

Without breaking

How complete it felt

To behold and be held by you

So for now

Allow us this moment

To touch each other

Before we say

Our final goodbye
