Saying Goodbye

Time is fragile, time is thin Strings of white pearls Hang and seek for equilibrium Distant cries, unheard callings For so much I've wondered Lost and alone. Your ship left too soon Yet the anchor was still aboard, It kept pulling you under Forcing water to run on the sides. New horizons await beyond the sea, Transitions, experiences, dreams and hopes All of them drowned in the fear of change. I felt your warmth for the last time I heard your heart breaking I saw it aching I watched you pretending to be strong Even though you knew what was the end all along. Until it was undeniable That last goodbye was inevitable. You held me close At a complete loss for words I couldn't hide the hurt Behind my smile anymore; Tears were speaking in the name of all the unnecessary words, Our kiss never experienced that passion before. Only the thought of it brings Crystal drops That decorate the dry surface of my cheeks; My body is yet not prepared: My eyes - colorless and pale My face - motionless and tired My mind - confused and undecided My hands - shaking and aching.
