Long, Last Embrace

I hope that when you touch me
You understand it's your last time
I won't waste another senseless hour
I won't penetrate this mind

I hope that when you kiss me
You'll see how blue these lips became
You'll tell me that you love me
But things will never be the same

I hope that when you caress me
The sensation will last forever
Through every troubled time of hate
And every enraged endeavor

I hope that when you embrace me
You'll remember the pace of my heart
The way it flailed in agony
From the moment our arms did depart

I hope that when you leave me
You'll recall the sadness in my eyes
Never to forget how it pained me
To have to prepare an unwanted Goodbye

I hope that when you turn the key
And slowly drive yourself away
You'll turn around to watch me
To memorize this unforgettable day

I hope that when you close your eyes
My image embodies your face
Holding a significant keeper
That no other memory could replace

I hope that when you wake up
I'm the first thing on your mind
And deep inside your heart you know
I never wanted to leave you behind

I hope that when you think about me
You smile just knowing we tried
Saying goodbye to you killed a part of me
.. And on that day, I died.
