How do you say goodbye

How do you say goodbye
To one you’ve loved so long
To one whose very way
Helped keep you going on

How do you say goodbye
To your best friend
Knowing it’s uncertain
When you’ll meet again

How do you say goodbye
To the one who holds your heart
Knowing it will break
Whenever you part

How do you say goodbye
To an angel here on earth
To one you know you’ve loved
Since the moment of your birth

How do you say goodbye
Without letting them see you cry
When you are so sad
I don’t know, but we must try.
