This is it. You've made up your mind,
Today, you're irrefutably leaving me.
In silence, you vow not to look behind-
Until the very dawn of eternity.

Hesitantly, I walk you into the other woman's world.
Slowly, you loosen the grip of my tender hand.
My world, you crumble with not a single word.
You walk away, but I don't stop you, I understand.

You forsake me with the words that her you take.
A glance into her eyes, and see the world, whole.
A world that knows not when your smile is real or fake,
But your world, looks on through the windows of my soul.

I love you like me, with my all.
I chose to have and to love you.
I'll always love you, you're a part of my soul.
Nobody but God, can love you more than I do.

An elegant companion, you stand before her,
Adorned in that beautifully tailored suit.
Wonderful! The texture of your perfume can be felt from afar.
But I saw more in you while you were in your birthday suit.

I master enough strength to endeavor to look on-
As I wonder why you chose to break my heart in public.
In the multitude amidst which you tear my heart, I feel alone.
Your departure means misery. My pride is more than weak.

Tears creep out through my eyes from my soul's bother-
And glide down my made-up, undecided hazy face.
The edges of my wordless mouth repel from each other.
That one kiss before many spells the gravity of my loneliness.

You've always been there for me.
You've been my brother, you've been my friend.
You're more than my family;
The supportive pillar on which I'd always depend.

But even if I hate to watch you leave.
I can't keep you any longer. You've got to go on.
I taught you to, but now, it's my turn to give.
Farewell, enjoy your marriage, my only son.

Keep Smiling
