Goodbye ily

I know you have to leave us
That doesn't make it any easier 
And as I stand next to you
For the last time
I find myself wishing
Hoping
Praying
That you could stay here longer
With us
With me
A single tear slides down my cheek
One tear turns into a river
And a river turns into a waterfall
They flow freely
Down my face 
But as I stand next to you
Your heartbeats numbered
I realize
It is time
For you to go
I know if you stay
There will be more pain
And I don't want anymore pain
For anybody
But I want 
No need
You to know that
I love you

And somehow I know you already know that

  • Mother to Child

    From the day you were born I loved you unconditionally. 

    I loved you every second, of every minute, of every day. 

    When you were born, I was reborn alongside you. 

     

  • Lake

    Fall

    You are still, but the bright trees around you shake. 

    Colored leaves fall onto your surface.

    The wind howls, but you are calm. 

  • One: A Tale of Love

    I never realized

    There was a big difference between

    Being in love

    And loving someone.

    Not until you came along.

     

    I’ve come up with an idea.

    I call it

    The hole of love.
