Delaying Your Goodbye

I love you.
You are my only truth.
One rose in my garden.
A single star in my sky.
If I were to beg the moon
To grant me a pardon.
Would it be uncouth
Just delaying your goodbye.
I grieve,
Though nobody has died.
My very soul
Holds your sunshine inside.
I'd crawl on my hands and knees,
For to hear just one last sigh.
My heart suspended in deep freeze
Is just delaying your goodbye.
