TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

I never realized how hard it is
to say goodbye to someone so close
till I had to see you go
and sadly ever no one will know
without you it's one less shoulder to cry on
and one less caring person to lean on
we ran out of time to do all the stuff
but at least the little we had was enough
sooner or later i'll have to get used to
waking up and not getting to see you
the story of my life will open a new page
as I try to adopt to this new change
missing you will be the trend
as sadly ever this is where our story ends
the distance will be wide ask why
but now I guess it's time to say goodbye.

i recently had to say goodbye to a friend moving away.
{4. maybe. 5 months ago.}
still. recent feels like the most accurate word to use.
because that is how strong the pain is.
regardless of time.

your words grasp that longing. helpless emotion. effortlessly.

"Sooner or later I'll have to get used to
Waking up and not getting to see you."

That's such a powerful bit, right there. It almost sounds like a privilege, being able to be with this person. It's clear that one individual is pouring out their love, but it never does mention the recipient of that intense emotion. But even so, there's this aspect of needing to move on. Moving forward and not looking back. As you said above, "GOODBYE!" For better or worse.

Best of wishes, and here's hoping this next chapter holds something gentle and fair, friend. Nice work with this poem.
