Say “Goodbye”

Suitcases full, a taxi in front of the door,
you check if everything is there,
the night before, we didn’t sleep a wink,
we talked about our parting.

You go to the one who pulled you to himself,
with kisses from the heart erased me,
at night he turned stars into pearls for you,
returned the feeling of being desired as a woman.

Sad looks for both you and me,
we both want, at least, to remain friends,
I realized, although it is late,
I had to give you more attention.

Now, at the end, say, “Goodbye,” and go,
while I still have the strength to let you go,
just at the end, please kiss me,
so I have the strength to go on alone.

Zera Princ
