I won't ask of you
To stay forever
As you are
Or to always love me
As you do right now.
That is not the way of life
To be eternally unchanging.
No amount of fight
And will and want
Shall ever make it be
What it cannot.
So I simply ask tonight
Leave me a thing of you
To remember you as you were
And I'll do the same.
A photograph, perhaps,
Or a song.
Something to remind
Whoever we shall become
That in us still remains
A bit of this moment.

Poetry"And I will say my goodbyes some starry night and wrap you in the silver hues of moonlight. So when you wake up you remember me as a beautiful dream too surreal for your reality." - Someone I do not know.
