Unbeknownst to me you were slipping away
melting as the glaciers in spring
hollwing, escaping, vaporizing
the faintest smiles upon your lips
will now become only memories

the paper texture of your skin
rough and wonderfully yours
would no longer graze along mine
clammy hands and wet kisses
smudged mascara and lipstick

no more stories of escapades
our adventures have now ended
all our dreams now lie 6 feet deep
the tomb stone has sealed its fate
only goodbye is left to be said

just one simple wish is what I have
embedded into the muscle of my heart;
I want to touch you one more time
one million times again and again
over and over and over again
