For Now This is Good Bye
I've always questioned the possibility of an afterlife
Throughout the years I've heard dozens of stories on what happens after death
I've heard we reincarnate as a different species
Or we are left to venture the Earth
Perhaps we go to the desired destination, heaven
But then again maybe all these conspiracies are made up to hide that there is no afterlife
and once you're dead, there's nothing
Nowhere to go
No one to see
And no place to call home
It's just you and your lonely thoughts
Whatever it may be, I will find out tonight once the clock hits twelve and I will be nothing but a picture on your shelf
But don't worry
I will venture the wilderness if by any chance I reincarnate as a majestic beast
I will travel every city and drink from every coffee shop if I am left as a soul to wander the earth
I'll bathe in the beautiful waterfalls and eat all the imaginable goods if there is a heaven
And in any of these circumstances
I promise, I will find a way to return to your wailing arms and teary eyes to say my very last goodbye
Then I will continue my journey with you on my mind
and your name always at the tip of my tongue
Finally I will leave you to live a happy and healthy life
But maybe, if these stories about the afterlife are nothing but rumors made to hide the tragic truth and to make worried hearts feel at ease
when in reality there's nothing left in the end but the voice in your head
when your eyes give there last gleam
and you take your last breath
Then take this as my farewell
But don't worry, everyone's lifes come to an end
which only means I will see you again
in the following life or the next
but for now, this is my goodbye.
