The end of something beautiful
Is drawing near
And there's nothing we can do
To stop it I fear
We knew it was coming
Yet we let it creep up
Until it was screaming
Strangling us
I'm so afraid
A fear more than just change
I really want you to stay
I can't imagine a day
Without your smile
So wide and bright
Cheek to cheek
Innocent and light
For no reason more
Than unbroken joy
A joy that I'll always envy
Through eyes darting and coy
Oh God I'll miss you
And your little gifts
I wish I could have helped you
I wish I could have stopped this
Or was it simply inevitable
You've accepted it
And so have I
But it always hurts so badly
Saying goodbye
