No Time For Farewell
I lay beside someone
I seem to know.
A stranger I've known all my life,
I look at who is beside me,
I see a face with a smile.
A smile hoping to find
remembrance in mine.
I don't find what the smile
asks from me,
for it's getting late and
there's no time.
Though hesitant, lets me go.
Smile intact, tears lay unseen
underneath.
For the choice is mine to make,
And not for tears to stop.
I get to my feet and
walk away.
I turn around one last time
to the face and the smile it bore.
but found neither, for both had left.
It was my choice to leave ,
and now there's no time.
