Stolen Goodbyes

I knew I had to say goodbye,

The day was coming when our paths would part.

I wasn’t prepared then,

And I could only pray that I was ready on that day.

But that has been stolen from me.

And now I can’t even say goodbye.

Who knows if we’ll see each other again.

What lies ahead is impossible to predict.

I can only think back to the past

Because my eyes are too watery to see the future.

I wonder how you’re doing, and if you think of me.

I just hope the last thing we did together was smile.
