Love walked out the door.
Candles flickering in the background. In shadows, there's no end to you and no beginning to me. And I wish I could remain in this moment, forever, holding onto you. Holding onto the "we" that used to be.

In your arms I feel... Lonely.
Music playing softly. Our bodies swaying, waving a lazy goodbye to moments passed and memories made. Between us, silence reigns.
Your hand presses lightly against the small of my back, but there's no spark, no flame.
My head rests against your chest. Hearts beating out of sync. Mine no longer whispers your name.

On the last mourning strains of our dying love song, your lips brush against mine. The music draws to an end, this is our goodbye. A weeping heart. Silent tears. The soft click of a lock falling into place.
Just you.
Just me.
Between us, the door.

Awesome write......

I can feel the bow being drawn across the strings. Sadness and relief at the same time.

Thank you

"And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives, are better left to chance, I could've missed the pain, but then I'd have to miss... The dance."

Perfect.

Before the candle wax turns cold.
Love once so bold,
Now drained dry, no urge to cry.
Just two words spoken, goodbye,- goodbye!

What sweet embrace, to have-to erase.

A very cool write girl!!!!!

As to a song,,The Dance is great..
but,,,Lets Just Kiss, and say Goodbye...

Artist unknown,,,lol, by me,,Dr. Hook,,maybe?


We been meeting here so long,
I guess what we done,,all was wrong.
Darling don't you cry,cry,cry.
Lets just kiss, and say, goodbye...

An extension of my very thoughts... The elusive perfect ending.

Thank You.
Let's Just Kiss and Say Goodbye is sung by The Manhattans.
"It's gonna hurt me I can't lie.
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy.
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try,
Let's just kiss and say godbye."

Thats the one,,,so sad my memory of that time...as life just had me and a girlfriend,,having to go different ways,,just life..but this song stood to remind me always,,,that sometimes,,goodbye,,,really is a peaceful nice parting..not a bad ugly thing,,,,just a parting of who we were....I drive a truck,,and have spent thirty years,,singing with the radio,,,and I LOVE IT!!!,,lol,,life is made of song and memories that we all store inside,,some forgotten,,until ,,it starts to play,,THEN,,,we're ON BABY!!!!!,,,:)

A friend of mine had this to add:
"Usually the saddest words
now all that's left is the relief
of knowing
knowing that what once was no longer is,
and what is no longer was...
dancing under a starless night, no ray of light,
no ray of hope...
Just one last dance before the final goodbye."

I have different memories of that song. I had the privelage of watching The Manhattens in concert. So everytime I hear it, I remember those two days.
But every songs has its own story, and none of our stories are the same.

I can hear the song.

That's a huge compliment... Thank you.
