In the night
As we slept
Every second
I held you close
Never wanting to let go
Clutching
As a child does to a balloon
Eager to leave in the wind
As my grip weakened
Slowly
You slid from my fingers
Rushing into oblivion
Pausing briefly
As of to say
Why did you let me go
You're going to miss me
Before I could reach for you
Before I could hold you
You were gone
No remaining trail
No remembrance
Just clear blue sky
As we slept
Every second
I held you close
Never wanting to let go
Clutching
As a child does to a balloon
Eager to leave in the wind
As my grip weakened
Slowly
You slid from my fingers
Rushing into oblivion
Pausing briefly
As of to say
Why did you let me go
You're going to miss me
Before I could reach for you
Before I could hold you
You were gone
No remaining trail
No remembrance
Just clear blue sky
