It’s okay love, you can go now,
but set the door ajar as you leave –
just enough for the light of your memory
to shine through.
We’ve gone a long way, you and I, on this journey,
but I am tired now, in need of rest –
so I will stay here and say goodbye.
Yes, it’s okay love, you can go now,
be where you ought to be –
I’ll still think of you …
Thank you for reading and commenting Kelly, pleased you liked.
yes, even when seperated from love, memories do provide solace to the fatigued mind which does not nurse any regret. Beautifully expressed, Val.
And our memories still hold true as the years fly by. I hope you write more poetry soon.
Thank you for commenting Khairul, pleased you liked. This was written following the death of my husband.
I have been deeply touched by this solemn, somber poem and loved the dignity with which the poetess is letting her beloved 'go'- where, I do not know, but can guess, going to never return. An excellent poem. That it has flown out direct from the heart, readers can easily understand.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Beautiful words allowing yourself and helping others to let go. Thank You
Nice comment, Lyn. Loved it.
