Poem
How do you say goodbye to someone you've loved With whom you have shared your life Is a goodbye enough or "I'll see you around" After walking together through strife? How do you say goodbye to a person who held Such a great big space in your heart Do you offer a hug, or a goodbye kiss Or a wave of the arm as you part? Who knew when you met and proceeded to walk Down that road filled with places and things That you'd find such a friend with the same cares as you A relation unending it seemed How do you say goodbye to that loved one or friend Do you pretend that all is okay Would you hold back the words and let silence prevail Even though you have things left to say? Did you have the chance to say your goodbye To someone you thought was so true Were you sad when you realized that you had to part Or did it not bother you? Was the goodbye you had a sudden thing That came at you out of the blue? Or was it a slow one - built up over time Not hurting as much, cause you knew What is it you do if they're taken from you You're unable to say your goodbye You can hope in your heart that they knew how you felt But now - only tears left to cry Did you watch as the love started slipping away Wondering how could this possibly be After all the good times - all the trials we went through Was I really unable to see? One thing is for sure, new days come - old days go And love will be lost and found It's important to know that you gave it your best No matter what life brings around Now it's time to let go and move on with your life After all - tomorrows do come How you face it today is the healing for you Goodbye is the right thing for some
