How Do I Say goodbye

How Do I Say Goodbye
How Do I Say Goodbye

When you were born,
As parents we are supposed 
To teach you all we know
Most of the time it is both
Ways, you also teach us.
The only thing is no one
Has taught us to deal with
The loss of you, when you go
Too soon, or let alone prepare 
Us for it. People always say
That it gets easier, but in the
Long run it doesn't. It may 
feel like it does, but until the
Day that your memories come
Back, so how do I say goodbye,
When the time is right? I don't
 know because I can't please 
Help me learn how to say goodbye.
