A Last Goodbye

If the sun rose tomorrow
I’d see the beauty of its rays
If the stars came out tonight
I’d marvel at them for days

If the trees came into blossom
Their fragrance’d fill the air
But if all this didn’t happen
I doubt too much I’d care

For tomorrow I’ll be gone
A mere spirit in the wind
My memory may live on
Over time it’ll fade and thin

Nothing lasts forever
Not for forever and a day
If only your arms would open
There I’d love to stay

But your arms aren’t in this land
Your arms aren’t in this life
You used to take my hand
And help me through my strife

Now I stand-alone
Now I stand detached
Now as I live and breathe
A fateful plan I hatch

For without you hand to guide me
Without your tender touch
Without you voice to find me
My life seems worth so much

So much less than an adult’s
So much less than a child’s
So much less than anyone else’s
Life no longer seems worthwhile

I say goodbye to this life of hardship
I say goodbye to this realm of harm
I say goodbye to pain and suffering
I run to you with open arms

I have to leave this world
I have to say farewell
I have to take the road
To either heaven or to hell.

Where I go means nothing
Where I go I do not care
As long as if for one last time
I run my fingers through your hair

I can look into your eyes
And see the passion from our past
The passion we once felt, and shared
A love that will forever last.

You passed on to another life
Now I will pass on too
My life my stop but my love will not
Perfect. Final. And True
