This Is Where You Cry

As summer nears the ending call
 the close of flowered petal fly
 as they wither, dry and fall
I will say my goodbyes.

The moments shared
 to be held in memory safe and stored
 kept safe in your heart well cared
always there, forevermore.

I'll take your hand in mind
 kiss me softly on the cheek
 share your gentleness, meek and kind
our love sevret and discrete.

Too late now to change our paths
 the love between us over the years
 all life experiences now passed
left to the memories of laughter and tears.

Let it go, let me sleep
 the dreams are yours to hold alone
 those we met and longed to keep
and now the tears can fall in our time to cry
 goodbye.
