It Isn't The End

We knew this day would come

Though I think we pretended it wouldn't.

Its time for me to go

And leap into my future.

 

My future, while full of love and promise,

Will not make this any easier to do.

I finally get to be with the man I love

But at the same time I'm leaving so much my wake.

 

I'm going to have to say goodbye sometime.

In a letter? No.

My tears would smear the letters

And the words that I'd write.

 

No, I will do what I think I can't,

What I know I can't do.

I will bite the bullet

And face what I have been dreading for so long.

 

I won't leave without saying goodbye to you.

Not in a letter.

Not on the phone.

But to you.

 

The memory of it will be a blurred watercolor,

Tear-stained and bittersweet.

Its a memory I truly wish I didn't have to make

But my destiny is calling me, I have to go.

 

But I will remember the good times, just like you taught me.

I know you will too.

I won't dwell on how it is now

But rather think of how it was and what is yet to come.

 

The last thing you will see

Is a smile come across my face.

Because as soon as I turn to walk away

I will start looking forward to the next time we meet.

 

Even though I travel far, far away

Please don't think that this is the end.

Just as I've always said, I will always be here.

We will see each other again soon.

 

And so its goodbye for now,

But only for a little while.

All I ask is that you smile too and remember

That truly, it isn't the end.
