AS YOU WALK AWAY

AS YOU WALK AWAY                By Nelson M. Kilonzo

When your hand slides off mine

As the words ‘Good bye’

Echo diminishingly at the back of my mind

I remember of your warm hugs…

The Kisses that filled my mouth…

How I felt with you by my side.

My cheek receives a warm tear

My body trembles in fear

Of the lonely feeling you leave in me

As you wave you hand

And walk away from me.

I open my mouth to shout

To call your name so loud,

I try to lift my left leg

To follow you,

But it feels too heavy for me

I just smile my tears away

Not for pain but for joy.

I feel it in my heart

As I see you wipe away your tears

As you walk away looking back at me

And hopelessly wave…

I feel it that I should not cry

For you walk away today 

But someday…

My heart tells me…

That someday…just so soon

I will see you…

I will have you back in my arms.
