Goodbye.

don't leave...
I won't let you go
it hasn't been long
so I can't see you go.
I hate goodbyes, farewells, abientos...
I get all sentimental.
my heart keeps playing this sad melody of instrumentals
because you're boarding a train that's leaving transcontinental.
And what is to come of life without thee?
will the birds still sing
if you decide to leave?
will the moon still rise
in the darkest of nights?
and will the sun still set
even after you have left?
we can't escape time... is inevitable
so lets make these few moments unforgettable.
but please when it's your time to leave
promise you'll never forget me...

Not my best work. Just some random thoughts and feelings I've compiled into words. I wrote this poem for several reasons. Some of the dearest people in my life are and moving on with their lives. I know what it feels like to be abandoned, which is why I fear goodbyes so much. I don't want this year to end because I'm not ready to let go of these people I love. I guess this is how life works. Maybe this is a test from God...a lesson I need to learn, and maybe I'll become a stronger person and heal all my past wounds.
