Goodbye, My Darling

Goodbye, my darling. I will miss you. 

No, 

this cannot be the last time, 

The twinkle in your eyes, 

shimmering when you find me 

Intertwined fingers harsh against our rings 

The breath of air, brushing you in sunlight 

Gentle passion evolved into survival. 

That cannot be the last time, 

your dress rivaling the Northern Aurorae 

As you race into the arms of your now broken lover 

I should’ve held you longer, tighter, and never let go. 

You laughed with me, now I weep all alone. 

That shouldn’t have been the last time. 

I’m a wreck without you, my quiet storm. 

You’re plucking my heartstrings like the sad songs we loved. 

I see your reflection, then how is it you’re not here? 

You said if one of us has to go, you’ll be first, 

why did you mean it? 

This is not the last time, 

Every second we didn’t have is a second I don’t want 

Our hearts beat together, mine cannot beat as one 

I fell into your arms, 

now I just fall down. 

Your voice calls to me, "Come here, find me."
