The Final Night

That final night!
When I felt your breathing
for the last time,
when I held you close, saying,
we will stay side by side all our lives.

That final night!
When I believed you were mine—
for the last time,
before we fell apart!

That final night!
When I saw your beautiful smile
for the last time,
and I smiled too;
because I knew I was the reason for all your laughter!

That final night!
When our eternal bond came undone!
And we two became I and you from us,
for the last time!

That final night!
When I bid you goodnight, saying I'd sleep
and you kissed me
for the last time,
when I could no longer see
the morning that followed.
