The Last Goodbye

The Last Goodbye

The Last Goodbye, The First Kiss

We stood in the doorway, silent, still,

hearts too heavy, hands too chill.

The weight of leaving, thick as air,

a moment stretched, a vacant stare.

Your fingers loosened , mine stayed tight,

holding back what wasn’t right.

No words left, no space for more,

just the echo of the closing door.

But once, beneath a sky so wide,

you brushed my lips and turned the tide.

A first kiss, a spark, a start,

before we learned to break a heart.

And so we part, as strangers do,

with memories caught in shades of blue.

The last goodbye, the first embrace,

both lost now, time won’t replace.

Too young to know, a romance song.

We both let go, neither strong.

Memories of that night remain,

You moved on and I remained.
