Take care,

I say

standing on the beach

to the sunset before me

but also to the sand beneath my feat

Take care,

I say,

to the girl I once met

Who is now off to better things

Take care,

I say,

to myself as tears run down my face

Take care,

I say,

because if you don't take care of yourself

no one will take care of you

Take care,

I say,

because I love you

and because if something were to happen to you

my heart would be torn in two

Take care,

I say,

because I will not see you soon

Take care,

I say,

as she walks away so slowly

as she looks back at me

only once

Take care,

oh God

please take care
