Good-Bye

Standing by your side
I'm calling out to you
But you don't notice a thing
Your eyes shimmer with
Renewed happiness
Your smile
Brighter than I've seen
In such a long time.

Backing away slowly
I look over each of your features
Committing them to memory.

Aqua blue eyes
Throaty laugh
Full lips.

The way words
Fall from your mouth
Will forever be on repeat
In my head.
