So I am here to bid you farewell

again,

like a never ending reverie.

Your silouette, soaked in hues of the mist

drops of which conceal your face.

Your hair, tinted with every shadow of gray

slowly falls over your shoulders as

you turn towards the impenetrable gloom.

Passing clouds capture the waning moon,

wiping away the last trace

of your fading image.

Imprisoned I am with the weight of your leaving...

I am denied freedom till you return

and release me from my own captivity,

Again.

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

A farewell poem, sad and beautiful, full of true emotions, enjoyed

Love

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!"

It sounds very much like you are going to miss this person and feel very incomplete without them.  I hope they are able to return so you can be once again fulfilled.  Nice but sad poem.
