BYE

Bidding me your fondest and maybe last adieu,
You give me a sincere embrace, and then I see
Eyes welling up with tears; how dear to me you'll always be.

Andrea, I really like this one. Just like the children's song on the stairs in the Sound of Music. Stark and inevitable, though never want to get too comfortable saying the words of goodbye. -Richard

Very beautiful. Hey, I know it's probably too late but I changed my title for the "I Am (Color)" contest...I was surfing and then I saw your blog so changed it...still a bit different, but I hope it's acceptable. <3 Nice reading this
