There’s never enough time <br />To overcome the shadow <br />Of what has become inevitable. <br />Veiled within this loving heart; <br /> <br />Hidden in its acceptance, <br />Lies the hope that someday <br />My lover’s kiss will be mine <br />To Hold. <br /> <br />Now, in these bitter partings; <br />Concealed in sweet embraces, <br />I feel like the goodbye girl wondering <br />If I will ever be his homecoming queen.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bitter-goodbyes/
