Sound of Goodbye
In the staggering silence
Absent of all senses
Heartbeat echoes alone
Aching to beat with yours
Quivering breaths so sad
I promise I won't cry
Voice playing like a record
Closing my eyes to see
The way you look at me
Just one more kiss
Another hug so tight
Hear my heart racing
I believe in your promise
You will return to me
With hesitation I sigh
Tell you I love you
Promise not to cry
As you drive away
Silence takes your place
The first time we parted
It was then I realized
This is what goodbye sounds like
