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.
