Good Bye
I have never been good with goodbye
The more things change the more they stay the same
I was never one to just break down and cry
Now it seems like its all I want to do
I am about to leave for the adventure of a lifetime
And all I can think about is how I am missing something
But I continue to lie telling everyone I’m just fine
Now don’t get me wrong I am more than ready to leave
It is what I am leaving behind that scares the hell out of me
Scared I guess after all of this time that I will be forgotten
Pushed away without another thought of how things used to be
I have so much that I stand to lose in just a few days
A best friend who has never even second guessed me
Made me realize just what life is suppose to mean
To relax take things as they come and laugh off most things
Most of my friends don’t even know that I am still around
They say they don’t recognize me anymore
Saying there is something that she put there
That it is a glow that was never there before
That not even people who were the closest to me could do
I know this sounds a little confused
But right at the moment it is what I am going through
Like I am being ever so politely excused
But in my heart I think it can’t be that way
It would be near impossible I would hope
To ever forget the quiet sometimes confused person
Who would do anything for anyone including hanging from a rope
It took a lot for me to trust anyone that took a second look at me
But then I get to close for my own good
I can’t help it like I said I hate good bye
I hold on far longer than sometimes I should
But good bye seems so final in the overall sense of things
So can I make it through the day without breaking down
As I say good bye and wish you all the best
As I drive into town for that final go around
I am ready to leave but not ready to say goodbye
I don’t think I will ever be
