PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

why do people say goodbye
turn away and not look back
fade from view against the sky
into forever's night so black

yes I know you need to grow
spread your wings from end to end
find out where the roads all go
see what lies around the bend

I know you've changed and so have I
the way we were won't be again
the wanderlust shines in your eye
my hopes to hold you back in vain

no matter what life holds for me
no matter whom I choose as lover
there'll always be a part of me
I won't give to any other

I'll look for your face in the crowd
hear your voice along the wind
recall the way you laughed out loud
feel your fingers on my skin

I will survive, and so will you
our lives lie long before us yet
we'll learn to trust and love anew
our hearts will mend but not forget
