Of Unwanted Goodbyes
Folder:
Love Life The light is fading, casting shadows across his tear stained face
As we lay on the pillows that held a week of happy dreams
Wrapped in blankets that kept us warm - ones we'll never see again,
The last night, the final 'sweet dreams' we'll both hear in a long time.
The last smell of his skin or a kiss from his sweet tender lips
No more silly laughter, just bittersweet tears of an unwanted goodbye
Pillows moist with tears and eyes burning weary red
Single beds pushed together, soon to be pulled apart again
Just like the couple who slept in them for one blissful week
Felt like a lifetime, now it all seems far too short.
This hasn't even happened yet, but it's all within my mind
I know this is how it will be, we both know that for sure
No amount of tears can change the parting, not even a thousand
It's the hardest thing I'm going to have to do in my life
To let go. To accept we're meant to be apart for now.
Everlasting, yet this moment passes within the blink of an eye
Eyes which close now, not wanting to see tomorrow.
