GOODBYE
This "story" is in two parts. In one perspective of the loved one watching the other leave...
The other is the perspective of the one who is leaving. Enjoy!! PART I__________ {"The Power of Goodbye"} So here we are together We knew this day would come I stand here before you Hoping our time to last, to linger I know you must go I want to plead you to stay But this is your wish Which I must respect either way I won't lie to you I will miss you badly I won't promise I'll stay strong without you You're apart of me, and when one puzzle piece leaves The puzzle is no longer complete I am a ruined puzzle without you I won't lie that I'll be strong But I will wait for you, I will pray for you I'll engrave your name into my heart Hoping you're doing okay Hoping we don't grow apart Stay safe, stay strong, young soldier Let us not cry We will outlast this power of goodbye Regardless of physical or spiritual space I'll always be right by your side I love you... I feel your hand slowly leave mine Your essence lingers upon me You shine a brave smile my way, then turn around I watch you leave. PART II__________ {"This Is Not Goodbye"} I'm holding your soft hands Trying to understand Why I made this choice Not that I do regret Your eyes look up upon me With sadness digging in deep I know you'll miss me dearly But this is something I must do We're still so very young I want to venture around In hopes that my imperfect being Can still push to change the world The world is falling apart I want to hold you But I want to help hold this world together too Please understand If I could move mountains I would If I could turn back time I would But there are some things we cannot share I do not want to burden you Please understand Please wait for me Stay strong for me I'll stay alive for you And while I'm away I'll think of you each day I will not ever forget you I will return This is not goodbye I love you... I let go of your hand and turn around My back is now the only thing you see I close my eyes and force myself to stride forward, away from you A part of me wants to turn around to look back at you, to see Without seeing your face, I know you are crying And to say that I'm fine with that would be lying But this is something I must do Please understand The car drives away And when I arrive I sigh miserably to myself Look out the window And smile slightly Knowing we still share the same sky. |
This some how reminds me of my two best friends situation. My friend stayed in the state while her husband had to leave to Iraq doing military stuff ;___; I pictured the situation along with your piece of work, and my heart aches for the two people in the 'story', but overall I love the way it is well written with the feeling of thoses two people.
Please keep up the good work :wink: |
