One last goodbye
Exchange the few
possessions
That we each have
left
We say goodbye
Careful not to say
See you soon
Because we won’t
This is it
All loose ends tied
Finally free to move
on
Let go
The ache is deep
For all that is gone
Such a shame
So much love was
there
But at the time
We just couldn’t see
What I meant to you
And you meant to me
I say take care
You wave a hand in
the air
Is this right
Should we try?
Or stick with the
choice
Of a last goodbye?
But we travelled that
road
Of faith and hope
We gave it all we had
The results so
fucking sad
So goodbye my love
Take care and so long
Being with you
Was never wrong
I bow in gratitude
for all that we shared
For all the times you
showed me you cared
For listening
endlessly to me
For all the love I failed
to see
For making me strong
by breaking my heart
And for finally
setting me free to start
Again.
