A Goodbye

It is quiet between us
when that fork splits us apart;
a divide so trivial,
yet resonate in our souls.

Goodbye for today, or forever.
My heart sinks with the setting sun,
drowning so comfortably in a bed
of bluish clouds above a rosy pond.

I wish to hold your hand, my dearest friend;
to prolong our together eternally.
But the sun does set, and so does our love.
So may my tears sink aside our divide– 

a seed of our bond
that will outlive us both
