one picture

how do i tell you goodbye,
but that i'll love you forever?
i push you away,
hoping to make it better.

your touch, your laugh,
our fights, our past.
mingle like a sweet perfume--
on a love note, it never lasts.

will you understand?
i don't.
but i know it has to be.

so i'll keep one picture
of you and me, out on the lake.
when i see it, i'll remember
the love we used to make.

time will brush away the pain,
and build a wall between our paths,
but we made history, we made love,
lying in the leaves of grass.
