Whispers Of Our Soul

Goodbye

I don't want to go today

Because going would make it too real

You are moving away

I won't see you again. 

I am putting it off because eventually we will have to say goodbye

Not the quick goodbye we had that last day of school

Not the waving from the car as you walked to your house

It will be the permanent goodbye

Because in about 48 hours, we will be separated by roads and miles

Because in two months, you won't be sitting next to me in any classes

It just doesn't feel right

I still remember 

Little girl with blue eyes and big dreams

Little boy with red red hair and a football helmet

It has been four years, why does it have to end now

I don't want to go today.

Because going would mean that this is happening

That you are going to move away

And there won't be anything left of you but a name and face

I don't want to say goodbye

Because I might never stop crying

And right now,

With summer hanging in the air and these four walls holding me

The last thing I need is to dwell on your departure. 

I don't want it to be real.

Tell me that you aren't leaving

But I know when I go to see you

There will be boxes in your hallway

And your bedroom walls will be bare

I don't wan tot go today 

Because going would make it real

And I don't want to say goodbye if we won't

Be saying hello again
