Stay well

Why does everything slip away, can you tell me?

Have you seen me?
Like a wound that's hardened over!
Don't I seem that way?

I am meant to disappear—
like the evening star.

Hold me close within your heart—
the news of my departure…
I'll tell only you.

I cannot steel my mind no matter how I try…
How terribly I need you in this moment!

Tell me, how shall I say goodbye?
Be well!
