I wonder which one of us
would be the better at goodbye.
You want to read my poems for you
but all I can do is sigh.

I shake my head no
and say "maybe another day",
you are knowing too much of me,
I've given too much away.

And looking into the future,
I don't bother asking why,
but somehow I just know
you're better at goodbye.

I really liked this

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.

Dear Dixie, none of us are good at goodbyes, but sometimes it is just for the better and we must move on. Letting go of what has grown around us must be the hardest thing to do, but not doing it prolongs the heartache, thus not allowing the brighter future to start.
Enjoyed the read my friend, take care and Hello, not goodbye.

Having you been spying into my heart sis? *wipes a crystal from your eye*

Only a fool would say goodbye to a golden winged phoenix.

Dix.

I think you have had a lot of experience at
it, and it has not been a really good thing
for you...  Sometimes we make the right
choices in leaving or staying...we all manage
to somehow sometimes screw it up!!
