Passing

I knew this moment would come.

I knew someday I'd have to let you go.

Time for good-bye.

You - lying asleep, sick and withering.

Me - by your side holding you hand.

And Death - waiting for me to let you go.

You can hear me, you can hear my final words to you.

With a slight squeeze of your hand, my tears flow.

One for every moment we loved each other.

I slip my hand away from yours,

kiss your forehead,

say good-bye.

Agonizing silence.  

Too long a moment.

And your gone.

But not forgotten.
