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.
