i see
a breeze through his hair
soft as the look he gives me
each morning, every morning
when he loves me, while im sleeping
and i feel like im going to break
as i wave to him
goodbye, lover
i see
a future that cant be stoped
a farewell that isnt fair
and im crying through closed eyes
tears burning as i hold his hand
as i let go
as i fall down dying, crying
i see
his plane rise up into the clouds
ascending, like death
but with the light of life
my baby is leaving
and im watching him turn away
Author notes
my boyfriend of four years is leaving on thursday to california for a long time and i've having nightmares of his departure since he told me. i so dont want him to go.

Aw, I feel so sad for you! The poem was full of emotions, and a perfect way to explain what you saw.
Be strong! Planes rarely do crash, but I know there is little comfort in my words right now.
