Goodbye ily

I know you have to leave us
That doesn't make it any easier 
And as I stand next to you
For the last time
I find myself wishing
Hoping
Praying
That you could stay here longer
With us
With me
A single tear slides down my cheek
One tear turns into a river
And a river turns into a waterfall
They flow freely
Down my face 
But as I stand next to you
Your heartbeats numbered
I realize
It is time
For you to go
I know if you stay
There will be more pain
And I don't want anymore pain
For anybody
But I want 
No need
You to know that
I love you

And somehow I know you already know that
