Goodbye

you're leaving

not for good or in a bad way

but you're moving

a whopping four hours away

it's not much

really

but you're leaving

our paths were the same for awhile

but then we had to go our own ways

and this is it

one of the bigger signals 

it's like a flare in the sky

"So this is it!

I'm leaving you."

but strangely,

i'm okay with it.

i knew it would come.

i'll miss you 

unexpectedly most days.

but i knew this was coming

and i felt it.

you're stuck in the past,

my dear. 

but you're moving forward.

slowly.

just remember to let us go

you can't hold on forever.

the world doesn't work like that.

i think memories are good things to hold onto.

laughter and smiles and pictures.

tear-stained letters and old books.

because those are the good things.

but just remember to let God

guide you on your path.

you can't create your own.

i love you.

goodbye.

God be with you.

don't have too much fun without me.
