For now, goodbye is goodbye
To the way we see the world together
The embraces we share and the laughter
We create.
There are no words I can use to describe the ache.
It is my voice that has gone mute and
My words are foreigners in a strange land
Lost, confused, but trying to make sense
Of what it is to know, it is I who left.
There is no way to do it right, that
Makes it hurt less. I must cling to knowing
What I have learned and believe is the truth
Letting go, frees me and it frees you
Loved one,
I’ll see you in my dreams, my memories
And in the pieces of you that have become part of me
Together, but separate we will walk ahead
And when those paths cross, I’ll hold you again.
