My Final Letter

For you to feel as you feel right

Goodbye dearest, I know it be hard

So I wrote this letter for your breaking heart.

I know my time is coming soon

But your time is now to start.

I see that tear begin to form

And ask, darling, you let it roll.

Close your eyes and breathe in deep,

Allow your mind a gentle stroll.

The time when we walked as one

Through the paths of ancient Rome.

Together we fought the armies of old

Back to back and never alone.

How about the moment when the shooting star

Raced across us.

For that brief second we shared a wish

Sealed by the greatest first kiss.

The time in strife when panic leered

Yet we laughed it all away.

Hand in hand we stared it down

Until naught but peace could find its stay.

I know the time I saw your face;

When natural was when I learned.

That is the most beautiful you ever are,

The first time a fire burned.

I’ve never forgotten the most scared I’ve been

On one knee praying for a lifetime.

Your happy gasp and tears that fell

Saw mine begin.

That night, my love, you brought us whole

Cries of innocence our lives were dressed.

That raging fire burst from within

To keep evil from safety’s nest.

Seconds passed and we waved au revior

To our treasure on his early quest.

Though scared and hurt we may have been

We knew we had done our best.

Time friended us some gifted years

Stories left untold.

My darling our love was strong throughout

And devotion to us unsold.

We’ve laughed and lived and loved as one

So these times we shall not forget

But it is now your time that has begun

For my love shall leave no debt.

So close your eyes my darling

And breathe just one more time.

I’m going now and I love you so.

Remember, you’ll always be mine.
