Saying Goodbye

It is always near
You always try to hide
You hold him so dear
He is always so kind

You try to let go
While fighting the tears
Thoughts of all that's happened
Last through all of the years

Friends try to explain
& cease to be true
You can never forget
What he meant to you

The pain and the tears
In silence we cry
Still held so dear
After saying goodbye

A lovely poem, though there is nothing I can say to make you feel better.

Alicia--Saying good-bye can be a very difficult thing.....I hope the pain eases for you.  This is a lovely poem!

Alicia,

I lost someone I loved very much many years ago.  He was only 25 when he died.  I never have said "goodbye".  I say " 'til we meet again".  Somehow that has helped me, and I do believe we will be together again, eternally.  I wish for you to find peace and joy in your life.
