Let me say goodbye….. While I can still utter the word, goodbye…. While I can still look away, while I can still try… Let me say goodbye…. Now, with only my heart at stake… And almost half my soul for you to take… Let me say goodbye…. While I can still stand and walk on my own…. While I can still exist in a hapless world alone… Let me say goodbye… Now, with only my dreams askew… And my hopes dashed but still few… Let me say goodbye… While I can still breathe if with some pain…. While I still think it is still life no matter how insane… Let me say goodbye… Now, with no more today or tomorrow And my horizon looks bleak and full of sorrow…. Let me say goodbye… While I love you only more than my life… While I love you less than God and without expected rife… Let me say goodbye… Now, while I have a little left of me… And the person I was I can still sense and see… Let me say goodbye… Quietly, without fanfare, without the noise… Without the loud, almost without poise… Let me say goodbye… While I love you only more than my life… While I love you less than God and without expected rife… Let me say goodbye… Now, Dearest…..while I still can…
Reason for writing:
Possibly saying goodbye to something before it even starts...and recognizing the pain to be had should this whatever it is starts to exist....
