Love, I know, it's hard to do.
But you must promise to go on.
The roads still beg for traveling
Diverging from the one I'm on.
We've had our times, and love so pure,
We've had our memories, held so dear-
But nature plays no favorites,
And don't dare shed a tear.
Cry not for me dearest,
For your steadfast heart shall not be broken
But come, spend this time with me-
Leave no words unspoken.
A curse, placed upon us by races,
But we had known that from the start,
This time, love, we're out of chances,
Keep me, dearest, in your heart.
The soil of a lover’s soul,
First so fresh and wanting wear,
Over time, is gently trodden,
Mixed seamlessly in passion’s affair.
Flawlessly, we came to be,
Irreversibly, a part of the other
But I have just these precious moments,
And we must let go of one another.
My last few breaths I give to you-
Take them, darling, my last gift,
Save them for a lonely day,
Your spirits may they lift.
Once so young and malleable,
But I have aged, and so have you,
Back then years seemed plentiful,
And they have dwindled to so few.
Cherish our every moment,
Each time you saw my face,
We’ve tried so hard to beat the clock,
But I have lost the race.
Darling if you love me,
Assure me that you do,
You must let me go beyond,
There I will wait for you.
Goodbye, dearest,
Goodnight.

Yay honey! Me enter contest!
Okay, basically this is a human in a relationship with an elf, (inspired by Rayne and Darrin...hehe....this doesn't have to happen to them but that IS where I got the idea)...the human is dying...but the elf lives on, because of life-span complications...I figured you'd get it, but I wanted to explain.

Haha, you're right, that;s the first thing it reminded me of and I really like it. It's a pretty lovely thing you're written and quite sad. Rayne would want him to find love in another after ehr death, I'm sure. But anyway, I love the rhyme scheme, though it seemed off in the first few lines of the poem. You did a lovely job of portraying the emotion, though there was no imagery. However, I still quite like what you have here. Thank you for entering and good luck to you.
