the last hello

by devon vega - Taurus

when i say goodbye...i hope you understand that i never want
to leave you. but i must. i never want to go away. but i will.
i don't want you to watch me walk away. but i'll never walk
too far. i'll always be just around the next sunrise. i'll 
always be waiting for you wherever you go. when we take that
last look at one another, it'll bring happiness into our 
hearts because its real. when i say goodbye...i want you to 
smile because we are. because of the beauty we found inside.
it may not be forever, but at least it was. even if only for 
the moment. i want you to find the small gifts that life has 
given us. i want you to remember the little things we pass by 
every day. i want you to hold onto yourself like i would hold 
you. if you ever miss me, remember the way you made me smile 
when we were together. if you ever feel like calling me, 
listen to the way we used to sing in silence when life was 
too much. if you ever want to be with me, look to the sky 
and watch as the sun gathers its power from deep inside 
and shares it with the world. watch as life grows from 
out of the space. listen as the creatures walk and fly and 
scurry about. look at how the sun sees us. we are creatures
who love the life we have. we have the sun and the moon. we 
have each other. we have the stars and the oceans. we have 
time and memories. we have our hearts and we have life. i am
 there, baby. look at the sky and find me there. in your 
heart. i'll never leave you...if you remember that.

Reason for writing:

    leaving...falling away slowly. 
one year ago today, you found me.
we laughed and played, 
lost in a soul embrace.

the sun set, summer's end came
to take you away.

love died.
for me, the memories persist.
