Goodbye, Angel

A tearful goodbye so easily said...
Basking in the warm sheets of the bed
where only last night we took refuge in
You lie, seemingly content
Happy with the comfort of the new sunrise coming into you
The window opens up to a new song, and there you are
Engulfed in the lustful music of last night

A silent angel covering me with soft kisses
A soulful heart engulfing me with an everlasting hold
Last night brings back the tide of wonderful love
So sweet it nourishes my soul
You have always been so giving

But last night has ended
Wake up to today, my angel
I am leaving you. Forgive me, I can't stay
No matter how tightly I hold you, it would be unfair
To tie you with my misery.
Last night is enough. Let it remain forever

How sweet last night
And even now, the enduring warmth will stay with me
As it keeps me from saying the words to keep you calm
To make you stop from crying
But my heart cannot say anything to make it easier
As parting is always this sad

So goodbye, my angel
Thank you for last night.
