Close

Close my eyes
to see what's truly there.

Faraway
lies the hopes and dreams,
along with this small melody.

Farewell,
things of the past.
This promise just floats around,
the preciousness of it lost
never to return.

Goodbye
could never be so easy.

Well done Courtney! The notion of good bye is often met with sadness but at times it is what is needed to exhale. Nice!
