A Simple Goodbye
A mere two days away
My life will forever change
You've made the choice to go away
The decision not to stay
My soul is on fire from hiding the truth
As always, I do not want to lose you
Cyber space and cell phone calls
Is what will be left of it all
Things will not change between us
But they will not be the same
You home will no longer exist
For me to rest my head
To sit in utter silence
While a million words are being said
The presence of your laughter
The rare form of your tears
Will not linger near my heart
The way they have for years
But I know I have to let you go
I've watched this place swallow you whole
And watched your life spin out of control
I will not pluck a rose from its stem
To own the beauty within
I know it will only wither in the end
So I will let you go
So you can live
