Please reach out.
Take hold of my hand.
I don't want to.
But I really have to leave.
This is just a step in my
life I must take.
Look in my eyes.
Try to understand.
In my heart, I too will
feel lost and alone.
I need you to know,
that it will not be forever.
There will come a time
soon, for you and me.
Once again to be back
together in our home.
I promise you no no matter
what lies ahead for me.
The memory of your face,
the sound of your voice.
Will bring comfort and
shelter me from any harm.
Until I am back in your arms
just where I need to be.
Hold me close one last time.
Please do not cry.
Sieze the moment.
Caress every loving memory.
When you feel lonely.
Think of me and my silly smile.
Remember our love,not this
pain of saying goodbye.
Release my hand.
Look at me.
Kiss me once more.
It is time.
Show me that smile,
before I leave.
It's a memory, I want to
cherish and carry on with me.
Yes, I do love you each day
more than the day before.
Goodbye for now,
until...
I'm back in your arms again.
