Goodbye

Coming and going are feelings that

Lie deeply, but we can't rewind the time.

Reminiscing about when I last saw your face

Filled with laughter...

Suddenly, you left without a way for me to say goodbye.

How could you be so unfair and leave me behind?

What am I to do now?

I am here, all by myself.

And now I feel the emptiness, realizing...

When you once were there, so close to me...

Took for granted every time you had been here.

But, giving little thought unknowingly,

Now, no longer, will I get to hear the sound of your voice.

Over and over, it plays just like

A broken cassette tape I can't discard...

And it tangles itself. At some point, it's too late.

Left with anger.

Overwhelmed by all the words I couldn't seem to say aloud and,

While filled with what-if's, becomes just self-consuming.

Even though that day was

But a distant memory,

Feels like it just happened yesterday.

But, I know now...

Even when I face the world each night,

Left pretending, still pretending, but it's not right...

But the truth is hard for me to take.

That I'll only get to see you in my faded memories.

Can you hear me there, up in the sky

Looking down at all the world with no way to cry?

Can these feelings reach you when I sink

Into sorrow, far away from who I once was?

I know if you could, you would have stayed

Here beside me, never leaving, if you had a choice.

I know that I should keep going on

With your memory here inside me. Let my voice please reach you.

Sorry for all from before.

Thank you for the memories and all that you've done.

Now wish I could show you at last

That since then I've found my way back... but I'll miss you.
