Saying Goodbye....





I avoid goodbyes at all costs
They hurt too much
Hugs linger a little too long,
Not wanting to let go is rough.

Sometimes goodbyes can't be dodged.
I've had to say too many lately 
So I have learned a few things,

Don't cry.
It makes it harder for them to leave
That's not fair.
Smile through the pain.

Do what's best.
Don't let them see a tear.
Say goodbye, 


And if you are lucky,
And it's really love,
Goodbye won't be forever.

  1. um i want to quote this whole thing cause LOVED IT. goodbyes are the hardest things. and this is so true:

    "Don't cry.
    It makes it harder for them to leave
    That's not fair.
    Smile through the pain."

    but yes, to that last line.

    i just really loved this post. well done. captured the true essence of a goodbye.

  3. But what if it really is love, but you said goodbye and then things didn't work out?

    Um, I believe in fate and destiny and what's meant to be will be, but still....I ain't saying goodbye. I don't believe in it that much.
