A Beautiful Goodbye

A Beautiful Goodbye As I stare into her eyes I feel the sense of yearning To know exactly what keeps those eyes gazing at me Maybe a new sense of truth by careful discernment Of two hearts juxtaposed in the sweetest disposition I lean in to feel the warmth travel between us With each breath she takes I am overwhelmed That such a being like me could ever love another And be blessed to enjoy the long hoped reciprocation With every graceful twitch of her body wrapped in mine Jolts awareness into my already prancing nerves Finding a modest place to share and feed The passion that reveals itself in the form of a sigh As we grasp each other tighter with the gentlest of ease Knowing that forever can be felt in this way I take the last attempt to feel our pressed skin And keep faith that there will be more goodbyes
