So Many

So many people I love. So many people I've lost. So many hurt So many gone. Bye bye for now, at least that's what I'm told, but it doesn't hurt any less when the people you love you no longer can hold. Taken away to a better place. See you soon! So many people you've lost. So many feelings inside. Makes you wonder if it's okay to hide. Just for a while. Away from sympathetic smiles. You'll be back soon. It'll be okay. So many hurt. Tongues don't know how to say the right things when their brain is pulled by so many strings. Just go through the motions. You'll come back soon. So many gone. So many have left for that place and you're just here like 'see you soon, right?' But you never know. Where did they go? Where will I go? But even still, so many here. Maybe one day we'll see each other. Hugs will be on the house. Tears will stream, but different than before. It once was an ocean of tears vast and never ending, but maybe with someone to help hug it out, it'll turn into a ocean with an ending. So many to love, So many to lose, So many to heal, So many to say bye to. It's never over, but this is life. So many four letter words that cause strife. But for right now, the strife is all we see and when we get better (and have those free hugs we were promised) we'll see the joy they truly bring. We'll dance again, even sing. Maybe we'll be happy and smile up to heaven and say 'see you soon'.
