Not the first day of the rest
of your life
nor a chance to revel
in new beginnings
trains have already
left their stations and ships
their ports
some advice my grandmother
once gave
just write a note
I've treasured our time
sorry it couldn't have lasted longer
but alas
it was perhaps
as long as it needed to be
