Life is One Long Goodbye

Life is one long goodbye.
Won't you walk with me, a little way
While the sun is warm?
I see two shadows, side by side
Sharing in the light.
The time will come when we must part -
I know not when.
Then there will be a hollow in me,
Where the light will go.
I will be alone, and less of me remains.
Inside a light grows,
Until all of me is gone.
And all there is is light and sun, and stars and tears.
