Love
Can be fleeting
Often feels
Defeating

Loss
It’s my win
And yet still
I give in

Grief
Lasts forever
When never
Is your together

Life
I get by
Always saying
Goodbye

One last wish

Searching the depths
Of the starry night sky
Arms reaching out
With tears in her eyes

And yet once again
There was no reply
So she made her last wish
And said a final goodbye

couple

He hides his goodbyes
In her hellos
Never revealing
What she already knows

And as the days continue
And the months turn to years
She blossoms for him
Increasing his fears

For he knows the cost
Of true love upon a soul
And if he loses her now
He’ll never feel whole

So he hides his feelings
As best he can
Hopeful that someday
She’ll understand
