Love Poem: You Were My Hardest Goodbye

You Were My Hardest Goodbye

over time before my adoring eyes
much like a rose past its prime
i saw you wither away

i didn’t think that love could
but it grew day by day
and how sweet its perfume

you gave me the gift of intimacy
opening your heart to the nth degree
your vulnerability most endearing

a closeness i’d always in awe treasure
you were the love of my life
i never thought i'd ever have to say goodbye
