Farewell for now, fair love

As it's been almost a month, I'm posting. And, while I won't take the challenge again, expect more to come.


Farewell for now, fair love.

It was once said,
“Parting is such sweet sorrow”,
But I scoff at such sentiment,
For leaving you is only a pain most exquisite.

Alas, farewell for now, fair love.

I will not leave in vain.
When I return from whence I go,
I will be Victor, Champion,
The Prince that you deserve.

But, for now, farewell, fair love.

Oh dearest one,
Will you be mine again one day?
Or will my absence cause
Our Love to decay irreparably?

Regardless... farewell for now, fair love.

With meaningful words and looks,
I take my leave and leave a promise:
I will still Love you at my return.
Can you promise me the same?

With fear I go, but even so...
Farewell for now, fair love.
