Good-Bye

~Tears ran down my face and onto my lips, 
He gently wiped them away with his fingertips.

     ~I looked sadly into his dark brown eyes,
I tried really hard but could not muffle my cries.

     ~He held me tight in a strong embrace,
I rested my head on his chest and buried my face.

     ~Our last embrace ended with a sweet kiss,
There was so much about him I knew I would miss.

     ~As he walked away I wondered my fate,
With my only love in a faraway place.
