It was the longest walk,

And I faught back the tears as hard as i could,

But in the end a a dam could not hold the water,

He held my hand, and tried to make small talk,

Knwing that the dreaded moment,

was mere minutes away...

I felt his finger, stroking my palm

conveying so many words,

Words I could not say, Let alone think

My tears came harder.

We were surrounded by people,

But were incredibly alone.

Just Him and Me - and this silent dread...

We came to the end of the tunnell, and down the escalators,

and saw that we were there

the place we both did not want to be...

I clung onto him,

Kissed Him...

Held him...

I tried to convey eveything I felt in that final embrace,

but i knew it was impossible,

That much love can only be seen through the eyes

Piercing into the soul.

I got onto the escalator.... and looked back...

He was glued to the same spot....

My eyes never left him, until finally I could see him no more

And then I was broken....

I considered running back,

But knew that would only be harder....

So I walked away, with pain in every step

My heart was breaking...

as i said that first Goodbye
