The Time Has Come

 The Time Has Come

The time has come to part ways with you,

To embrace the pain of bidding adieu.

I wished to stay, but I cannot remain,

This helpless heart is drowning in pain.

Your smile, a beacon in my darkest night,

A tender warmth, a radiant light.

Your words, your touch, a sweet melody,

A cherished chapter of my destiny.

But time, the cruel thief, spares no one,

It steals the moon and dims the sun.

Today, the day I dreaded, has arrived,

My heart, though beating, feels deprived.

The solace of your arms, I’ll sorely miss,

That gentle embrace, a heavenly bliss.

Your memories will shadow me every day,

Yet this aching heart knows no way to stay.

No words can explain the storm within,

This parting isn’t a choice; it’s fate’s whim.

Ask my soul, and it will weep,

A broken river yearning for the deep.

I must go, the road ahead calls my name,

But every step whispers yours just the same.

Forgive me, love, for walking away,

A part of me with you will forever stay.

The pain of this farewell defies all reason,

Each heartbeat will mourn you in every season.

Your memories will linger like a fragrant breeze,

While my empty eyes weep silently.

This is our last meeting, our final goodbye,

Without you, my life feels like a lie.

But I am bound by chains I cannot break,

To leave you behind is the hardest choice to make.

Perhaps, in another lifetime, we’ll reunite,

In a world where love needs no fight.

There, no force will tear us apart,

And every dream will find its start.

I will live in the shadow of your memory,

Feeling your presence, though far you’ll be.

Promise me, though, you’ll never lose your smile,

For it’s my comfort across every mile.

This departure isn’t what I desire,

But love remains, an unquenchable fire.

Your name will echo in my every breath,

A bond unbroken, even by death.

The time has come to leave you behind,

Yet in my heart, you’ll always reside.

Forgive me, love, for I cannot stay,

But I’ll love you forever, come what may.
