Say Goodbye

So close, yet so far away

There’s no way to say goodbye.

Replaying the memories in my head like a broken record doesn’t help.

It makes it worse,

much worse.

I wish I had the perfect way,

for one last farewell.

But I don’t

And I never will.

Time goes on,

It makes it harder to remember.

Your voice

Your laugh

The way your eyes used to light up like stars in the sky.

I don’t want to forget,

But I’m still afraid I will.

I miss you.

Have I said that already?

Oh well.

It doesn’t hurt to say it again.

I’ll say it a thousand more times and still feel the same way.

So this is goodbye

For now.

But not forever

Because I’ll see you again.

Soon.
