Why are you so cold
so hard?
Why are you so different
than the way we were
just a few hours ago?
If I am hugging you
to say goodbye
why must the moment be so difficult?

If this will be the last instant we share
if there is nothing more for us
if this is our swan song
then let it end
on a sweet note.

Hug me well
as we say goodbye
tonight
for what if
it is truly the last words we speak
that the other might ever hear?
