Not Yet

It is not yet time for “Good Bye”

When I have not fully loved and lived

With every fiber of my being stretched,

Thinking every thought

And feeling every emotion to the utmost.

Let me not step into the wintry days

Sans life and sans color.

I yearned my heart to leap

At every glance, at every touch;

I craved the glow of love

To envelope me snuggly

To feel the warmth of love.

“Wait”, my heart spoke

And I held my breath

Before the death knell of “Good Bye”

Drowned me for ever.
