take a moment -- please.

if this be our last word, let it linger with all the sweetness of our memories and be more beautiful than any other word spoken. let it not be marred with our misgivings, unspoken bruises, ugly truths. let it be in silence if tears should fall.

if this be our last word, let it be a quiet prayer to send the other off. let it not be an attempt to explain or defend or clarify. but let it be as light as a touch of the hand and as heavy as regretful sighs. let it be in silence if tears should fall.

you don't suppose this is what i really wanted, do you?

if this be our last word, let it be poetic so as to forever be in this moment.
