The Final Goodbye

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Sitting on the dock, he watches the candles light
It flickers in the wind as it illuminates the night
Waiting for his love, he basks in the skies twilight
Awaiting the final goodbye.

The water gently ripples as she slowly makes her way
Her heart shatters apart as the flame comes into display
Wishing she were different, to stop the coming of this day
Awaiting the final goodbye.

Hearing the wake of water he draws near the edge
Spying the holder of his heart and his souls forever pledge
Grasping her hand, he slowly pulls her to the ledge
Awaiting the final goodbye.

Looking in her loves eyes, she silently begins to weep
Then kisses his lips gently as the guardian calls from the deep
How she longs to be mortal, to have this man to keep
Awaiting the final goodbye.

Holding her tight, he can't find the strength to let go
Whispering I love you as in the wind her hair softly blows
Hearing the echo of the guardian calling from below
Awaiting the final goodbye.

Gently pulling away, she silently replies
"I'll always love you and my feelings I wont deny,
But we can't be together, my ways I can't defy"
Awaiting the final goodbye.

Feeling the touch of her fingers softly let go
He whispered his forever as she slowly sank below
Blowing out the light, the flame no longer glows
Destroyed by the final goodbye.
