"Her Departure"

Sitting in the airport watching the plane depart,
carrying the woman I have cared about
back to her life -
away from mine, taking her away from me...

A tear comes to my eye, then another,
I can't control them now.
Thinking how much she has meant to me in the past,
how much we've been through together,
and alone.

Thinking of the future, possibly, hopefully together,
the feelings behind the tears change
to a warm embrace of memories.

Thinking of HOW, WHAT, I must do
to NEVER have to take her
to her departure again.
Waiting so listlessly, like a puppy,
for her to come back to US.

I want to be everything to her
that she is to me.
Dreading going home alone to the Dark again,
once the Light of her smile has lit up my life.

Beautiful

It seems we never forget the best things life has to offer.
