Love Poem: When I Go

When I Go

Today, when I had to leave
no sad words of farewell,
But when your gaze fell
my heart lost will to live.
I know when I go, tears reign in your eyes.
 
I take you with me always:
the smile on your lips
the dancing of your hips,
Joy for the rest of my days.
I know when I go, tears reign in your eyes.
 
Charmed is the happiness
that binds us together,
but the bound is also bitter
linking our loneliness.
I know when I go, tears reign in your eyes.
 
If I find myself alone,
recalling the days before
we started our own story
and the bows weren’t gone.
I know when I go, tears reign in your eyes.
 
Only words remain
and if they are now taken
by another love awaken,
we would be meeting again.
I know when I go, tears reign in your eyes.
