Today I Say My Last Goodbye

Saturday, 13 March 2004

Author Peejay

Today I say my last goodbye,
And open up the well
That had filled itself with tears inside
But could not be made to see
The starry night sky That you once, in loving memory, described
And the shooting star that winked alive
The first moment you came by
But disappeared a second
After you turned away
One last time
That one last night.
I held you in my arms and found
How hard it was not to cry
As you handed me back the heart
I had handed you that time
You smiled up at the stars outside.

Perhaps I should have seen the signs
That true love, as precious as the angel
I had been gifted from above,
Would only be with me a while
As Heaven only gifts mortals with
A bit of eternity''s happiness
A touch of destiny''s wish
And only the barest hint
Of true love''s special kiss
As light a breath on mine own lips
As soft as my own angel''s fingertips
Now gently away from what once was my hand
To gently wave goodbye
To what once was my life.

And now fate''s fisherman, once adrift at sea
Comes back to shore, searching for
The soul that Paradise had lent to me
And the passion that had burnt itself raw
As it burned inside of what once was me.
Now I find that you and I
Apart by more than oceans
Made separate by choices
Neither pleasant nor desired
Still look into each other''s eyes
Quiet, standing each alone on another shore
Blown softly back by what choice''s call
We answered to that last, dark night.

And in a moment of lonely light
You and I stretch out fingertips
Together, in rhyme, one last stolen time
Towards each other and then
Slowly fold our fingers, inward to closing hands
And, reluctantly... close our eyes.
