Final Adieu

Every path we tread ultimately finds its close, be it joyous or fraught with woes.

Once, I clasped another's hand in mine, but yours, always open, won my heart in time.

Here I have to admit that no other hand, not even yours, will suffice.

We must let go and accept final farewells, for our journey has reached a fateful end, a path that leads us both to bend.
