saying goodbye

its time to say goodbye.

goodbyes are not forever.

i hate goodbyes.



the time will come

when we will meet again

but until then i say god speed.



why do goodbyes hurt so much?

they are not forever

but it is still so hard.



i have to face my fears of goodbyes.

today i have to say goodbye to a person

i love with all my heart



the door to my past has closed

and the door to future

has been opened.



so now i can say

i am finally free to say

"goodbye mother, i love you"
