The Closer Ones

After sixteen years How does one say bye? How do you let go? Not of them But the company To embrace loneliness And say bye How? How do you refuse a silent bye bye To no one but the closer ones I’ll play a façade, a camaraderie When you love the one who’s so far away How do you deal with not being able to wake up every morning And breathe, “I Love You!” When your future prospectus dares to tell you “Never again will you meet” How do you wake up and still carry on with this loved one? When words are your only angelic weapon to play in lieu of your heart How do you remain faithful with so many others close by It’s the devotion of the soul It’s the freedom of the heart It’s a reverie of the mind If I faltered Where would we stand? If you faltered Would my heart still beat? When you love the one who’s far away Regardless of the generation How do you cope with the thought of future separation?
