I fell asleep
and awoke to
my dreams
beautiful dreams
of love filled roads
paved with the petals of our passion
guiding us towards
one another
but you see
not every path
leads to the same
destination
and through my
contemplation
I found that
on the eve
of love's birth
the winds of change
are upon us
and I stood
on the road
the road of our love
the same road
that was paved with
our unyielding passion
and I watched you
stroll away
away from the petals
of passion
away from the love
that was meant to be
away, my love,
away from me
you looked back
and waved farewell
as the road
the road of our love
that was paved on
the smooth satiny petals
of our passion
geared you towards
the vertical horizon
that leads to
oblivion
you then
never looked back
as the twilight
swallowed you whole
and the tears
tears of rage
and anger
tears of love lost
swelled into my eyes
because I loved you
and I craved you
I dreamt of nothing
but you
and you have left me
abandoned me
without any fight
so I say to you
farewell
farewell, my love,
may the roads
the roads paved
with our passion and love
guide you towards
the path of open sea
so you can finally have
the adventure
that I hope
leads you back
back to me
but hopeful thinking
is not realistic
planning
so I will plant my kiss
upon the wind
the same wind of change
so it can find you
on your voyage
your voyage of life
and discovery
and when you taste it
the sweetness
of my kiss
you will know that yes
I love you
and surely
I miss you
and somewhere
in the distant twilight
I am waving to you
to you, my love,
with tears in my eyes
tears of love and
understanding
tears of sorrow
and pain
and on my lips
only one word
shall slip
"farewell"
