The final word has been written
Sealed in ink on a white sheet of paper
Memories captured for the world to read
A friendship built, shattered in a moments grace
Forgotten in the haste to leave behind a life no longer wanted
Elegantly written
Words of grace, fond thoughts of you and me
A time spent laughing, dreaming of bigger and better things
Proving them all wrong
First me
Then you
Goodbye looming in the distance
And end to you and me
Oh how I wanted to run
Gather each memory
Each thought
Every sound
And carry them with me
I wanted to take it all
But with the passing of time
Leaving was all I could do
And each memory began to fade
Each laugh went silent
Every thought disappeared
As the days turned months
And the sound of your voice
Became nothing more than a distant cry from the past
The phone will ring
And I wonder if it's you
Calling with laughter in your voice
Telling me about your day
And I'll smile with a shake of my head
Telling you, all will be fine in this crazy world we call life
But it isn't you
And I'm left missing you all over again
I sit here
Writing you this letter
Telling you, I'm sorry but I can't go on like this
It was nice
There was laughter
Tears
And anger in between us
But the distance . . .
The distance sealed the ending of this story
For this I'm sorry
I'll take with me the memories
The words you spoke
But I just can't take you
Not anymore
How do I tell you leaving is all I can do?
How do I tell you, letting go is what I need to do to heal?
How do I . . .
End this with a final word of goodbye?
