Hard To Say Goodbye

It's been a long time already, but the sadness still remains

I know that things are over
And there's no returning back
To the love and peace and happiness
We never thought we'd have
But I still feel your absence
Like a ghost just out of reach
And it still feels like just yesterday
I had to watch you leave

I think about it sometimes
And the thoughts all make me sad
It took me losing everything
To realize what I had
It seems you're better off now
So I guess that I was right
You're better off without me
It's just hard to say goodbye

I wanted it to work but
Maybe I'm the thing that's wrong
You were always good to me
It was I who wasn't strong
I'll kick myself forever
Because of what I lost
I just hope that you forget me
So it's easy to move on

I think about you every day
It's something I can't help
I can't forgive myself for
Always putting you through hell
I drive past your work sometimes
I really don't know why
It hurts me every time but
It's just hard to say goodbye

This is a type of poem that slow cooks over time both in the creating and in the enjoying thereof. Thanks for sharing. It inspires and encourages like hearts and minds. /Freds.
