Goodbye....Once again.

Sitting by my bedroom window
Watching the sunset behind the mountains
Wishing she were here to share it
The leaves are changing again
The end of summer, the day and hopes
A fitting backdrop for the life I lead
I am no longer on her mind
She has moved on and I am lost
Checking one last time for a sign
The silence of her response is clear
In my own way I will always love her
Now a distant echo of what was
I want her to know one last time
How deeply she touched my soul
That I will always hold her close
She is and always was my soulmate
I wanted her to be mine forever
I needed her love, her smile, her touch
I am a better man for knowing
That one so special remembered
I pray that she still holds those memories
I hope she holds no regret or anger
The words written, the words spoken
Flowed with the love I held for her
Sometimes letting go is selfless
A gift for those who need to find their way
If that path leads you back to this love
I know a small spark will start the flame
This will always be a place of refuge
Forever welcomed with open arms
