Good bye Friend

I hate good byes, I hate endings.....

Good bye is so hard, a door closed, 

eyes closed, a book closed, then now more.  

The tie that binds now broken, 

a piece of the heart taken, now one sided memories.

Good bye is the end, of relationship, 

of communion, of a bond, 

death is hard to face.  

The last time to see them, 

hear their voice, silence has taken their place.

Good bye is the finale, of the future, 

of the present, of the past, 

nothing in this life lasts forever.  

Truth is hard to swallow, acceptance feels like defeat.

Good bye my friend it was great, to meet you, 

to know you, to learn from you, 

I hope this is not good bye.  

I will hold out for hope even if it a fools errand.

Author's Note

A friend that was just met and is such a strong person, you will be missed...
