It's time to say goodbye...

an overwhelming feeling,
as i step out of the car.
my shoulders heavy,
with this weight I carry.

the cold AC air lashes against my warmth,
my heart's racing.
honestly, I don't know why.

it is as if i was frozen,
only I wasn't.
each step i take forward,
my head reels back to all those memories.
big and small.

laughter, tears.
the chaos that i hated,
now keeps me calm.
to love, and to hate.

a nudge on my side,
my brother mouths the words "lets go!"
a questionable look upon his face.

lets go where?
the states.
the old yet new.
the familiar soil underneath my feet,
this american air I'll breathe.

its time to say goodbye,
to old bonds.
new ties.
lost love,
this new found high.

its time to let go,
to leave behind,
what was never meant to be mine.

people forget little things,
they always tend to.
but i'll hold on to what you'll let go.
i'll hold on to every word you've ever said,
good or bad.
'cause it's time to say goodbye.

never knew that,
these words i'll ever speak.
never knew that,
the day would ever come this way.

alas, this flight I board,
this day marked upon,
the calendars of my thought,
since longer than forever.

i'll be miles away,
time will differ and change,
but i'll be there,
in your hearts,
as long as you'll remember our part,
in this play called life.

now, its time to say goodbye,
its time to let go,
to leave behind.
to mark upon these lands,
somewhere,
where i might just belong.
