Prologue
If I close my eyes for even a second, then that is a second of the world's history I will not see.
If I cry for even a minute, then that is a minute of laughter that I have wasted.
If I don't hug you good bye, then that may be the last opportunity to do so that I have missed.
But I must do all these things because when I close my eyes, I can dream of us
When I cry, I will cry tears of joy in remembrance of our time together.
And if I miss that hug, it becomes a promise that I will hold you when I return.
So I will leave with your face in my eyes, your voice in my ears & your name on my lips. I will remember the softness of you & the way you held me tight that last time.
But I promise I will return because I left something with you. Tears & Laughter. Joy & Sorrow. A feeling & a sound.
I left my heart with you, so carry it as I carry yours until the day we meet again.
