So let me bid you one

last fond farewell,

and into darkness I will

gladly walk with open eyes.

This world has grown

too painful for my heart

to dwell in peace.

So I must find another

path to tread without you

walking at my side.

I will not beg you

to remember times,

that we have laughed and

loved beneath the stars

held high above.

But ask that sometimes

You will think of me.

The one who walked beside you

for a time.

And wish me well upon

my journey far beyond

the reaches of the world.
