My Worst Goodbye
We watched the sunset one day
On the porch, filled with bliss.
Driven by love, I leaned in,
And we shared a kiss.
I looked and stared
Into her deep brown eyes,
And we promised not to tell
Each other any lies.
She started to cry and asked
How long I will love her.
I said I always have,
And that I would love her forever.
Her tears continued falling
No matter what I did try.
She looked into my eyes
And told me goodbye.
I asked her what she meant.
She replied she had to move;
She said she would love me forever
As long as I'm here to love.
We spent our last night
In each other's arms
On a hilltop under the stars
Until the roosters raised their alarms.
She pulled me close,
And I held her tight.
Our last walk home was hard,
Because Despair's full strength we had to fight.
When we arrived
At our parting place,
I took her hand in mine, and wiped
The fresh tears from her face.
She said she love me,
And, without a hint of bliss,
I said I loved her too,
And we shared our final kiss.
