The Last Goodbye

The cherry blossoms beamed in all their glory,
The pleasant winds caressed her face.
A familiar voice echoed in the distance,
Time stood still as their eyes met yet again.

There was no past and no future,
No thoughts and no words-
Whenever his magical gaze rested on her,
Everything dissolved in perfect union…
Bowing down to the depth of his love.

He held her hand like she was made just for him,
Melting away the ice in her heart with his warmth.
Greater than a thousand forevers…
That moment was eternity.

They said goodbye with smiling lips and hopeful hearts,
Oblivious to life’s merciless ways,
Never realising that it would be the last.
