Saying Hello to Goodbye

  • Dedicated to My Grandfather
                                    

Pacing each step

As my feet carried me away

Standing against this door

Not knowing what I might see today

I turned the knob

And I stepped inside

I wished I could leave

I wished I could hide

Lying in his bed

Vulnerable in this lonely place

With his eyes closed

With his serene face

A tragedy wasn't it?

A tragedy I wasn't prepared for

A tragedy I couldn't prevent

A tragedy that I abhor

But I must face it

And I fought back tears

Without him I feel alone

Alone to face all of these fears

Slowly I made my way to him

And I held his cold hand

My knees gave away

And barely I tried to stand

I tried to fool myself

And hoped he'd open his eyes

He promised he'll never leave

Or was it all lies?

I knew it's too late

And I knew no matter what I do

I don't have a chance again

A chance to hear him say "I love you!"

I knew saying goodbye isn't easy

And honestly I don't want to

But I just have to say "Goodbye..."

"...And that I love you!"

-End
