As I write these words, my heart is breaking in two
To tell you goodbye is something I never wanted to do
Our bond was supposed to last for a lifetime
We promised if either broke it, it would be a crime
After years of trust and caring, you walked out the door
Requesting time to handle that urgent chore
Just a little more time you said and I will right back
I trusted you with my heart and never saw you pack
Now I hear that you won�t be coming back anymore
It shakes my emotions, my mind, my life to the core.
I dream of all that was and that which could have been
And tears rush to my eye as my insides start to spin
I wish that I could say goodbye to my sweetheart once more
To hold her tight and let her know how much I adore
To feel our minds come closer until our spirits are one
And escape to that beach with white sands and a bright sun
In that Oasis, I would tell her goodbye in our special way
Tell her how she enriched my life each and every day
Explain how that she has made me more complete
And tell her that each moment with her was a treat
I would thank her for coming into my secret world
And sharing herself during all the twists and twirls
To take a final look into those warm and caring eyes
Knowing that it is just a moment before she flies
This is all for naught, because I know it will never be
My sweetheart is dead and I�ll never again her face see
I have no brass casket to visit to say my good bye
There are no support group in which to go and hide
So I sit here alone and grieve as my tears water the trees
My heart bleeds and my stomach twists as if on open seas
I had forgotten the pain and agony of hard good byes
Suffering of a lost bond and all the caring that it ties.
I remember the song that she told me about the last dance
I think about what I would say if given the chance
Would I say that I am glad that I did not know the end?
Even knowing, I would choose to have her as my friend
So now that the tears have flown and my eyes are red
And my heart is broken and my spirit has bled
How do I start to mend from the anger and sadness?
When all she gave me was laughter and gladness.
The words that I would have whispered into her ear
I now speak with an inside voice so no one can hear
My dearest sweetheart who is gone forevermore
Know this, that I will never forget how we soared
Now it�s time to let go of that wonder which is gone
This is my hour of need and I must stand alone
I must draw on my strength and with all I have to try
To do what I must and that is to say Goodbye
