A Quick Goodbye

Shall I see another year when even now I begin to disappear. Most of my family, large as it was now contain only the remaining few of us. In my dreams I'm drifting back in time in search of memories I no longer find. Every second, every hour, every day I spend counts to draw the nearness of the end. How did it happen, how did time so quickly pass when a moment that was now could never last? Hold my hand, whisper in my ear tell me you love me with every goodbye tear. I'm here, listening, still waiting, still alive forget me not and I will always survive. Time though has made its choice to which I have no voice. Just a little longer as the old year passes away if it were my plan, I'd gladly stay. But much like time that never seems to stay a quick goodbye I send your way.
