Love Just Waved Goodbye

Don’t cry for me when I’m gone 

I’ve forgiven you it's time to move on

I understand we’ve all had our doubts

And fears made us enact them all out

Don’t cry about things of yesterday 

Know that somehow, God willing 

We’ll work it out someday

So as I  walk away tears fill my eyes and we both cry 

Love just waved goodbye

Beautiful work, Arturo; forgiveness is the key to all success and happiness. We start by forgiving others, which teaches us, to reach deep inside to forgive ourselves--then we forgive God, finally realizing, He is blameless.

“parting is such sweet sorrow” You captured it well with this piece. Even though it hurts, love is not a wasted emotion. Loving someone is the distillation of our essence.

There's something sacred in a goodbye - something so deep we learn, especially when it is goodbye to one that we hold dear. I do understand this pain, and this beautiful poem was written flawlessly, Arturo. Thank you for sharing your talent. "Don’t cry about things of yesterday" - Moving forward is the only way we learn to heal. Always, Laura

Well that was sad Arturo, you are so good with these emotional poems. To be a great poet one must 'live in it', and you my friend are certainly giving us that. Your words speak loud and clear. If this is is for real I truly sympathize, as they say as 'one door closes another opens'....Maria

Very interesting choice of poem. it's best to look at it this way.if a relationship was not much at all it's not even a goodbye or sadness, it's just about brushing it off.for family is more important.that's how I look at things.

These are things that happen...the end may not have been planned however...but there was a vibe somewhere... everything starts somewhere...and finish who knows where... Not all relationships have favorable results...Exactly...family is the foundation...Root...

Oh my dear friend Arturo, a sorrowful poem of lost love but with a parting gift of forgiveness.. the greatest gift one can give to oneself and to others. Beautiful, riveting, sadly emotional and heartfelt - shining poetry mon ami. Warmest wishes and hugs always.. ~Susan

Love knows no owner...it comes and says goodbye...but is present in all hearts...when completely present it would accept no less than love. We can nurture or torcher...however when love decides, it says goodbye...Good to see you...comforting...All the best my friend...
