To A Dear Friend, Far Away

You left my house
Just a minute ago
And I about burst into tears.

It makes me scared
For all the other sad goodbyes
That await me in life.

I can't believe you are gone,
The only one who let me in
who opens the door and opens my heart,
The person I love most in the world.

Farewell, Return safe to me
I love you always.

Oh and how I wish I had courage
I wish I could look into your eyes
And say those words
Without a sheepish smile
Or even a love-drenched tear
To disturb the perfection of the moment.
