Thoughts of You and More

Goodbyes

I smile at your fingertips

Fleeting goodbye traced on my cheek

Warm breath; the flutter of your lips

Heart leapt as I said a farewell meek

... ...
"Goodbyes are painful"...
Says who?
Not when they've no more
But a "see you soon"

... ...

"Hug?" One of us asked

And I'm not sure which

For we both want to mask

The present the past seeks

...

Arms wrapped around your neck

Heart to heart on tiptoe

Seconds in forever...forever to step back

Our hearts; magnets, unwilling to let go

... ...
Goodbyes aren't painful
More a quiet lingering
A feeling that something's missing
Unconscious reminiscing

... ...

Words of parting

Filled with concern

Sweet and heartening

I soon yearn your return

...

Patience far from endless;

Yet somehow understanding

You soften my anger and annoyance

Your sincerity maddeningly touching

... ...
Goodbyes may not be painful
But at moments I could be insecure
It's something rather fearful
For it prolongs a pending answer

...

There were shadows in the past

And I had let them consume me

How am I seen to you; which impression lasts?

For there were times I'm only assured of my own loyalty

... ...

You are precious to me

Perhaps more than I you

But your love is something I believe

And there's none else I hold more true

...

I have but one request

A simple one I beg you fulfill

For I believe, and you are, the best

And I hope I'm not a mere moment's thrill

...

To me, for us, there are no goodbyes

You will have me by your side

In you I trust, on you I rely

My heart is yours, come draught or tide

...

The goodbyes might be laced with bitterness

Should you take advantage of that

I'm tired of sacrificing happiness

Hiding hands behind the curtains as I wept

...

For you, I've done so

For you, I'll do much more...

Thank you for loving me so

And allowing my heart to soar

... ...
Goodbyes are mere distractions
When it comes to you and I;
In quiet with breath and heartbeat in unison
We belong, undisturbed by time
