Here Comes Goodbye

This is based off of the song by Rascal Flatts, Here Comes Goodbye. A truly amazing song.

I never thought I'd find myself standing at his gravesite. He was such a wonderful man, and I never wanted it to end like this. The love in our relationship should have prevented his untimely end.

It happened a few weeks ago. I was driving up his drive way. The music was turned off in my car (which was unusual), so I could relax and think about this. I turned off the car and sat for a few minutes, trying to find the correct words. The words, lost somewhere inside of me, that would change things forever. I could see him looking out of the window at me, his face showed a displacement, a saddened state.

 

I opened my door and climbed out. His door seemed like a million miles away. I wasn't ready for this. Here comes goodbye, I thought to myself. I knocked on the door instead of just walking in.

 

"Hello beautiful, I love you." He said as he embraced me and kissed me. I hugged him tightly.

"I have to go away for awhile." I said softly as I gazed deeply into his eyes. I was dying on the inside over this. My heart crumbled into a million pieces.

"What do you mean?" He let a tear fall.

 

I ran out, unable to tell him the truth. Yes, I went away. I later received the letter and the news of his death.

 

The pain is unmistakable. My dear Juliet, my darling angel, Annie. Why did you leave me? I thought our love was true. Why, why why why? I'm sorry to everyone. The bottle is getting lighter as I am feeling freer. And my jeep. My jeep, it calls to me, and it calls to me. It tells me to go off the cliff. Darling, I couldn't take hearing your vehicle on the gravel road. I knew it when you knocked, Here comes good bye I knew it.

 

If only he could have known the truth in it all. I was not leaving him. I had to go away for cancer treatments. I did not want him to worry.

And the pain is too much, standing here now. At his gravesite.

I picked up the gun, Here comes goodbye.

I really liked this. So deep and powerful, depressing and mysterious, this was great, and you incorporated the song title in just the right way. Good job
