You are leaving me, my dear.

You are leaving me, my dear.

I thought, we have ages to grow old together
but life has caught us up
tripped us, tricked us
in no small measure

you look serene, peaceful
prepared for your journey
I stretch my lips in a smile
my eyes scream a different story

People come in waves
you have touched many lives
i see your smile
giving them strength to say goodbye

i hang back, my eyes are drinking you
i wish i could steal you
these last moments with you
these last moments with you

You are leaving me, my dear.
