As you left
I only knew
for sure that I, too, would go
As you passed
I asked in
silence why not me
As sure as you were gone
I was sure I
would not stay
As you grew cold
I watched
myself grow very still
As you faded off in time
I observed as
I returned to dust
As you slipped away
I found it
made no real sense
As you parted company
I dwelt upon
my own farewells
As you moved on
I caught a
glimpse of all our pathways merging
As you disappeared
I could see
my own outline growing fainter
As you turned away
I witnessed
that there is nowhere left to turn
As you left us
I felt the
guilt of the living
As you sailed off
I thought of
myself sinking
As you grew so still
I did not
want to move
As you went off all alone
I saw me
leaving by myself as well
