a poem for the ones who say goodbye to often
"GOODBYE TO THE PAST"

blank are the pages of years gone by

twisted with memories of saying goodbye

what happens at the end is up to you

will you be the one to let it fall through

i know i was

and that is the truth

i wished i could say

i wasnt the one who made you cry

and in turn had to say goodbye

good bye today

goodbye tomorrow

goodbye for the rest of my life

when do we stop

with all the goodbyes

and just let the past die

when can we move on

from the life that weve lived

and the ones whove moved on

i hope one day

well all be able to say

that this was the day we said goodbye

for one last time

and that goodbye

we gave to the past

and that was the last

goodbye that i cast
