This is Goodbye.

— I hope she’s doing okay- I hope she’s happy.

It's been about two years more or less

and I realize that I miss you.

If I could walk back into your life?

I would...but,

the life you're living isn't the life that I want for myself.

Us together?

It’s not like fire and water…we don't balance each other out.

Us together is an earthquake and a tsunami,

We are the forest fires and the oil spills,

We're not the low winds nor the loose leaves;

We help each other destroy rather than build.

You were my best friend;

and I was prepared to endure anything with you

if it meant I could lessen your pain.

Although I said goodbye many times-

this is the last time.

Your secrets...

All of your secrets;

They are going to die with me.

This is goodbye.
