Your perfume speaks to me
Through your proximity
You're close to me stranger

It speaks of a smile heavy
With it's years of history
Of struggle and conflict
Ups and downs,
Of beauty and bliss

A smile of familiarity
Of deep understanding
And recognition in another
Your eyes are a mirror of magic
I can see all of you
As I've learned to love you
And yet see myself clearly
Through your point of view

I know that we walk this road together
That we are meant to be
Together
Till the end
From here on out
Forever

As the moment passes
Your scent leaves me
I can still feel
The warmth of your hand
Lovingly holding my cheek

I lean into it
As I mouth my last goodbye
To you dear stranger
To another opportunity missed
Of a life
Well lived
