The pain of saying goodbye

       Hurts more than

           the day you died.

For it means

      I'm not forgetting us

          but I need to move on.

One day,

       we will meet again

            and we'll never have to say

                goodbye.

For then,

        my life on earth

             will have ended.

But 'til then

       I need to do what I must

            to start healing.

So for now,

       it'll just be

           goodbye for a while.
