We walked together,
across the evening trail
one last time
in a bid
to ease the 'goodbye'.

The rustle of the leaves
whispered in our ears
the tunes of the songs
we would sing
to one another.

The autumn sun on our backs,
now gave us the warmth
we always had
when our hearts sought
for the other.

A breeze on our face,
tried to make us smile
when, a while ago,
all that was needed
was just the sight of you.

Intertwined hands,
couples enjoying the stroll,
a reminder of
what could have been,
how we felt
like we were 'one'.

Here I am now,
back on my porch;
watching the sunlight fade away,
and with it, the memories
and...our last walk together.
