Saying Goodbye!

Saying Goodbye
by Anthony West

So softthe brief touch of your lips

on my cheek.Was I almost intruding?

"Look after yourself "should have been

"I love you!"Then the Jumbo flew over

my head

and I shouted my love

above the roar

and thundering thrust. . .

as if you'd hear.

Through the clouds in my eyes

I watched you fly away

and wished I'd been born with wings.
