how am I expected
to just say goodbye?
I know we gave it our best try
but that doesn't make it easy
to say farewell to yesterday.
bad situations arose
but everyone knows that
the times painted with laughter
outweighed it all.
I'll take all the memories
and keep them in my back pocket
just in case I need a smile
or a good cry.
you're just a memory
and sometimes that hurts.
I don't mind though,
because it's life and
I can honestly say I'm used to it.
it's a difficult cycle
but I've survived it every time.
I don't know where I'm headed.
but I do know that I'm prepared.
my tomorrow will be filled
with more laughter and tears
and more people that will turn
into just memories.
it will be okay,
because I know I can make it
because I have a robust shield
and armor made of force.
