Not a Word

Hold back,
 please don't say it.
There it is so clear
 on your face
 in your eyes
 beating in your heart,
nothing need be said
 not a word 
 this must be it
 the time of last goodbyes.

Not ready to leave just yet. Thinking of those loves who have left us, willingly or not. Thanks for the read.
