Adieu

Let us then, do not lie Though we lie next to each. Let us then, do not touch If our hearts so belie. Let us then, do not kiss Bereft of warmth are our lips. Let not our eyes look at us Blinds are drawn, the windows dark. Let us then, do not let love Fall into a habit like brushing the teeth. Scatter the past to the rising wind Like leaves fluttering in the Fall. Let us then, not pretend to love No reprimand for not being in love. Life is a journey not bound on leash, Let us, my love, now let us leave.
