Ode to Graham

I never got to say goodbye,
So instead I say goodbye to moving shadows in crowded hallways
In an attempt to feel at ease.
I say goodbye to night skies
And shining stars
Trying to keep tears from falling
Because I'm afraid they'll wash away
Words I never got say.
I am desperate for your presence
As sit in silence.
I wish I could've said goodbye
So I try to pursue what's left of your being and
I say goodbye to soft breezes
In hopes your spirit is beside me.
Listening,
Saying goodbye in return.
But my last goodbyes are in notebooks
And pen ink
Releasing emotions and unwritten words
Trying to say goodbye one last time.
This is
Goodbye
