the big goodbye

The big goodbye is lurking
again
the tears are flowing richly like
expensive champagne
on a party with stars

the breaking of our hearts
the sound is almost deafening
the hugs are tighter
than ever

the touch more intense
the grieve sorrow and pain
cut like freshly sharpened knives

the big goodbye is lurking
for six months this time
with a little luck
it will go by
in the time of one big sigh

and with a lot of luck
it will be the last goodbye
and after this one
we will be together for ever
like true loves should be

not being separated by
almost 5000 miles
and a bunch of papers and
some grumpy old man in grey suits
who never found true love

the big goodbye is lurking
I just pray it will be the last time
and painless.
