xxxii. okaybye /March 14 2014/

I don't know

Why people say goodbye

There's nothing good

About bye

You're leaving

Going away

I'm going away

I'm leaving

The memories

Of the laughter

The tears

Joy

Strife

Hidden moments in dark rooms

They're all mine to keep

To cherish

And next week

As I cry

As I roam the empty halls

I'll know that everything

I've learned

And known

Will stay with me.

I simply have to convince myself

That I'm strong enough

To do this

To make this move

And to bear the weight

Of what could've been

But I'm ready

And this needs to happen

It must.

I know

That I'm leaving behind

Five friends

That have molded me into

Who I am today

(You know who you are)

I will keep in touch

You'll see that piercing

The bright streaks in my hair

I'll come to those parties

I'll make it.

Just you wait and see.

Maybe there is something okay

About [good]bye

After all

Okay, bye

I'll miss all of you

For different reasons

Some more than others

But that's okay

Not everyone was made to fit

To be best friends.

So

Okay bye Sycamore.
