Saying Goodbye

Saying Goodbye

How do you say goodbye?
When you’re not yet ready to let go?
How do you stop the tears?
When they want to flow?

How do you walk away?
From everything you hold so dear?
How do you move on?
When your heart still wants you here?

How can a heart be healed,
When it’s been completely torn apart?
How do you satisfy?
This longing of the heart?
