Time to say goodbye

It’s time to say goodbye now,
Though we have not met.
It’s time to say goodbye now,
But I don’t want to yet.

It’s time to say goodbye now,
“Holding on won’t do you good”.
But how can they say that?
When I loved you how only a mother could?

It’s time to say goodbye now,
But I wish it wasn’t so.
I wish you were still growing with me,
That the world would soon say hello.

That you would fill this empty space in the air,
With smiles, giggles and cries.
And lay close to my chest, my heart,
As I gaze into your untainted, brilliant eyes.

There’s a hole, where your presence is no longer,
An emptiness, a space, a void.
It encompasses everything, everywhere,
And it is impossible to avoid.

I could wish upon every star,
I could spend my nights in prayer.
But praying won’t change the fact,
That you are no longer there.

And the more I think like that,
The more it hurts; when I think about what was.
Thinking of your little hands, your tiny feet,
It doesn’t help, and that’s because �"

-It’s time to say goodbye now,
They urge, “you need to move on”.
But little do they know,
The pain, so strong, will never truly be gone.

It’s time to say goodbye now,
It’s time to let you go.
But how is that possible,
When I will always love you so?

This poem of yours spoke to me in many ways. And if it has done that to just one person in the now imagine once the world reads it. Keep on writing and continued success in your journey to speak your heart in words.
