A Sweet Goodbye

Where did you leave me? A girls voice cried.
“In the land of milk and honey” He replied.
Where the sadness is sweet and nothing goes wrong.
Where there are not tears, only angels and song.
In the ocean I see your face,
looking back, with flawless grace.
In the shadows of my deepest fears,
In the lingering of all my years.
I have never truly escaped your face,
You are my one true love,
my only disgrace.
In my song I beg you to stay,
though I know the lord has called you away.
In my dreams our love will never end,
but until I forget, I can never begin.
You will forever roam in the depths of my heart,
And now I leave you, my new life to start.
