The weave of farewell
We intertwine the strands of vibrant moments,
A weaving of day and night
The hues mix, the designs swirl,
A voyage together, two souls’ blossom
Yet time beckons, a change, a twist,
A flame that dances begins to blaze
The fabric must now unravel,
With affection and grief, so connected
Even if the fabric might unravel, it's a fact,
The bonds of love will guide us onward
In each stitch, a memory crafted,
In each tear, a love we've cherished
Thus, adieu, but not permanently
For in this heart, you will forever reside
A farewell, both sweet and sorrowful yet,
In love's hold, we discover our strength.
***
Quiet goodbye
In quietness, we exchange this farewell kiss,
A brief pause, a gentle joy
No speech is necessary, the heart can communicate
In each look, whether powerful or feeble
The affection we had, a soft melody,
A tune that endures for an extended time
Despite the increasing distance, our spirits endure,
Tied by a love that recognizes no limits
The goodbye is pleasant, yet tinged with sadness,
For in your absence, hearts continue to beat
We take our paths, yet never apart,
Our affection, an everlasting glowing star
Thus, we find ourselves here,
With no requirement for anything additional,
It is a quiet farewell, but souls cherish
In the gentle glow of love, we separate with elegance,
Until we gather in a sunnier location.
***
The sour flavour of goodbye
A flavour of salt lingers on my lips,
A poignant taste, the last embrace of love
A goodbye murmured among the branches,
Floated on the fall wind
The tenderness of your soft caress,
Warmth that I have yearned for greatly
Yet this farewell is also bitter,
To embrace love, one must say goodbye
Nevertheless, amid the pain, there's certain purity,
A lesson learned, a heart secured
For in every conclusion, new starts,
And love persists, even as life whirls
Thus, even as we separate to the tune of sorrow,
The affection we have will endure for a long time
Through the kindness of humankind, we navigate our path,
Even in farewell, love will remain.
