Hey, Goodbye.

Dear pal, goodbye.
You are gone forever.
Gently still I sigh,
Stop you, can I never?

First an ephemeral glimpse,
Then that sudden smile.
You were like one who limps,
Slowly yet but mile on mile.

All this while I kept my peace,
Knowing that anything I said
Would destroy all of your ease
And that happy life you lead.

Maybe that was my mistake,
Maybe you were wronged.
I am afraid I cannot take
Back, how much I had longed.

There is nothing I've left to say
But Goodbye, may your wisdom
See you on your perilous way
To your very own Kingdom.

Alone or surrounded,
I cannot now know.
It's time you wielded
A hand by which you glow.

And may that glow see you through
A life about which I have no clue.
