A Lover's Farewell Poem by Josephine Dunn

A Lover's Farewell

Rating: 4.0


The time has come
To bid old friends goodbye,
Without a backward glance,
Or question why,
So take a great step forwards
And make brave plans
For future times,
And lives,
And loves.

The time has come
When we must part,
Without a lonely tear,

2001
Or broken heart,
And treasure what we
Have to keep,
Not search our souls
And start to weep.
For what we have
Is more than this,
So goes far deeper
Than a stolen kiss
From lips that promise
More than they give.

And if we never
Meet again,
Remember what I say
To you, and when,
And hope that we
May find once more
What we have shared,
In future times,
And lives,
And loves.

2001

'For what we have Is more than this, So goes far deeper Than a stolen kiss From lips that promise More than they give.' - Loved these lines. So beautifully said!

The nostalgic feelings of a not-too-distant past and the sad souvenirs are spicy ingredients for a very somber poem.
