Let us have this final moment
The last before we part
Like the sunset, grand and silent
Sailing off into the west
One last lingering touch of color,
One last glorious burst of fire
Before the horizon inevitably
Steals it from our sight…
Let us not waste this precious urgency
With promises and sighs
Say goodbye to me, beloved,
Only with your eyes.
