Her Reluctant Farewell

I take one last look at your disappointed face
As one glistening tear slides down your cheek
But I no longer wish to stay in this place
A life of adventure I wish to seek

The romance we kindled must come to a close
Our relationship ends now that I’m to depart
I do wish that this breakup were not so morose
Only I have committed that my life shall restart

As you look at me from the balcony above
And I at you from the street below
I bless you with my everlasting love
Adieu, my dear for now I must go.

Nicely done! The one thing that is so frustrating about these contests? Posting an entry and then reading so many that are much better than mine. Then again, that's what I love about these contests, too. This one is very good, in my humble opinion.
