for the last time

i looked at him

for the last time

printing his face in my mind

 

i hold his hand

for the last time

to feel his skin one more time

 

i stared in his eyes

for the last time

just to remember the beautiful color

 

i said goodbye

for the last time

looking at the cold body

who was once

my best friend

A very good portrayal of someone losing someone close. If this happened to you I am very sorry.

The repeated phrase, the simple lines, the final revelation - all made for a powerful and moving poem
