I waved and said goodbye

We walked those steps for the last time
I paused
While he went on

With racing heart , submerged eyes and rekindled fear
I saw his blurred image in the distant
Just before i turned to walk my part of the distance

I smiled over my grief,
Stepped over my pain
And selflessly left a moist imprint on his forehead

He was about to start a world of his own
Not knowing he was about to end mine

Those parting words of him have inspired me...
Inspired me to hope....
