Saying Goodbye

Goodbye used to be hard for me
And I guess being on the receiving end still is
But saying it comes so naturally
I hold no attachments to this place anymore

I always make sure I love you is the last thing I say
Just in case you don't make it home
I don't think it ever occurred to you my eyes might be lifeless when you return
It was for you too you need to hear that I love you

As each day passes I grow more and more in tune with the ground
I want to be encapsulated by nature
Buried and gone
Spirit returned to where it belongs

I want to say goodbye without setting off your warning bells
I'm writing you a letter
One that won't be published here
One just for your eyes and you can see how I feel

I don't know how you'll react in the aftermath
All I can say is don't be sad for me
This isn't your fault and I love you
There's nothing that could've changed this

Time has decided all fates
What will happen was always destined to happen
Please know that
I hope it gives you peace

Mourn me shortly
Forget who I was and move on
You deserve all the good things the world has to offer
And me leaving is the best thing I could give you
