My Final Good-bye
by Jeannette R. Minnich
The more time that passes,
the more I long for your embrace.
I watched the sunset tonight.
I think I am watching my life go down like that sun.
I see nothing to look forward to, nothing ahead of me.
But then, I think of you. I realize what I might miss.
I have never been so much in love before.
Loving you gave me something new
I've never felt and never dreamed of.
I never knew that a touch could mean so much.
All I can do is sit alone in my room thinking about you.
How could it be that you are not here with me?
I face each day without a smile and life seems so unfair.
I feel like I want to die because you didn't give me
a last good-bye.
These tears are like rain.
This pain I'm feeling, I'm feeling deep down inside.
Then I remember who you are - who I am.
I realize the sun won't shine in our world.
You aren't quite the angel I remember in my dreams.
Maybe I'll see you someday, but maybe I won't.
I won't think about that day yet.
I won't think about it until it is gone
- just like I waited to think about you until you were gone.
I'll see you in heaven, if I make it there...
I really do love you,
but I don't know what my love is made of.
Do I have to love you, or is it something I want?
Do I love who you are, or what you do for me?
When I get the answers to my questions
is when I will be able to say to you... I love you.
