Just one.
That's all I'm asking for.
One last moment,
before you're gone forever.
Because everybody has had their time to say goodbye.
Before I've even had the chance to say hello.

I really love your poem! It's short but I understand the message and it seems like it's written from the heart.

This is really great. Like you said - short but meaningful. Through a long, sad story, I can relate to this kind of. Very nice and I would have to say the last lines were the best ones!
