your last words to me were barely audible

but the emotion in your eyes said everything

my tear-stained face had become impassive

my palpitating heart stopped beating

and i leaned in close for the last time

if you whispered to me "i love you"

i'm afraid i didn't say it back

i only said "goodbye"
