Hello, Goodbye

Hello, goodbye 
What a short sense of Words we use
Hello when we meet and goodbye when we leave 
But goodbye is never easy especially in arms of death 

Life is precious like that rear diamond found only by the rare
And I guess you were that diamond
But you left us so soon
You left us in pain

Hello, goodbye 
As you said hello your smile was so bright it  lite up a room and we never knew you were slowly dying inside 
You were so strong and we never thought in a million years you would leave so soon

Hello, goodbye 
I don't blame you for leaving
I guess you got tired of all this fighting 
And all that was left was for you to give in
Until we meet again 
I will say goodbye, and hello when we meet 
Rest in peace
