Our Last Kiss
My last kiss was given on the forehead.
I gave well wishes for the journey ahead
And tears welled up in my eyes.
I knew it was goodbye
There'd be no emails
No letters
No phone calls.
And confusion, love, and blessings were exchanged.
We hugged.
I walked away, and prayed for happiness, for relief
He deserved his blessings and though it hurt,
His happiness mattered more.
It was my birthday wish.
My goodbye kiss
To my brother.
The end of one journey begat another
Safe travels, rest in peace.
