D-Day

I dread the day,
When I have to let you go-
When I can see your eyes no more,
Watching my every step.
I fear the day,
When I can't hear your footsteps anymore-
Running behind me-
Trying to keep up
Or out-run.
I am paralyzed
With the ominous inevitability,
Of holding you still,
Not feeling your precious heartbeat
Any more.
I pray everyday,
For the longer life,
Happier each day.
And I know,
My life would be sans meaning-
Without your love,
To feel fulfilled everyday -
And I'll follow suit too,
As soon as you go.
