How To Say Goodbye

I don’t know the words to say goodbye I don’t have tears left to cry How to say I love you when you’re gone How to journey on You will always be there when I need you Our love will always prosper and be true But how to say I’ll see you in tomorrow If we could end in sorrow Our world is full of sudden shock Moments when angel’s eyes will lock So how can I be sure I’ll see you When any moment death could take his due Our meeting was so brief I could’ve dreamt it The candle is now burnt that once was lit One moment there and then you’re gone Leaving me alone to carry on So let me tell you that I love you Death is but a cloud across the blue If either of our days are done Know my love for you outshines the sun

You've touched on a very real conundrum, in such a nice, poetic way, Olivia. Two thumbs up! Blessings, Gershon

There was a poet call Rumi who said goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes...For those who love with their hearts there is no such thing as goodbye... Great deeply emotive poem
