Goodbye to the cheerful days of flavorful encounters
when two lonely hearts find comfort in each other
when everything fades in the background
while you take the spotlight
goodbye to the wonderful moments of speeches
when words are used to tell of fantasies
when longing looks are used to show affection
yet dare not take heed
goodbye to all uncertainties that come with
when all there is, a dead end
when reaching out seems senseless
wasteful and tiring
goodbye to you, beloved
when I am still strong enough to be without you
when I do not yet crave your presence
goodbye beloved, while I still love you
