When love departs, it stirs the heart
More deeply felt in fleeting time
At airports, kisses play their part
A touch that’s tender and sublime
In hospitals, where pray’rs ascend
Love clings to hope, though sorrow nears
A fervent plea as days descend
Where love is known through quiet tears
For in goodbyes, love’s truth is found
More vivid when it fades from view
Its absence makes the heart resound
And loss reveals what once we knew
In parting, love shines bright and clear
A bittersweet and lasting tear
