For Now

Parting in such sweet sorrow

I bid goodbye to it all

Farewell to your laughter

Your wide toothy smiles

Your runny noses and

The adorable high-pitched voices

Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up anew?

Full of your life and happiness

Your bright and wonderful energy

But tonight,

I just want to cope

My only wish

is to get through tonight

I enjoyed it all

I wish it had ended differently

But alas, I can't change

what has happened

I can only move on

Looking back only brings

more pain, and regret

I see someone I barely recall

I can't be that person any longer

Too much has happened

More than I want to count

More than I want to remember

I live with blind eyes

Blind to each day that passes

Hopefully the tide will pass

But if I ever end up wrong

I want you to always remember

These few words

I Love

You…
