The Final
Goodbye
Another tear was shed today
The very last one perhaps
Love lost another believer
As I watched my world collapse.
It was just like falling asleep
Seemingly peaceful to the silent
beholder
Unaware of the battles of the
heart and the mind
And of all the memories and emo-
tions that smolder.
Thread by thread, bead by bead
Our beautiful bond broke apart
But we healed it with love and care
Growing closer each time, not
willing to depart.
Yet here I am, late night, wide
awake
Telling myself to let go....
For you no longer enjoy the music
of our love
With its reason known solely by
your heart, the Maestro!
“Best friends” reads a lonely bro-
ken heart
Dangling in my neck waiting
To be united with its other half
That sits somewhere far away on
a grating.
It’s over, it’s gone, I’ve forgotten
you
Then why do your memories still
make me cry?
I wonder if you miss me everyday
old friend
Thinking ‘I wish we gave it anoth-
er try!’
Even though we are not together
anymore
Know that I’ll always be there for
you
Watching over like a guardian an-
gel
Because Best Friend, I still love
you!
