How do I say good-bye?

      When I have waited my whole life to find
      to find this amazing miracle of love?

How do I tell my soul?

      You are not it's second half,
      that  you won't be here forever.

How do I not say I love you?

      When I hear your sweet voice,
      my heart so full of love for you.

How do I accecpt what I know I must?

      Even though we are so in love,
      there is no way we can be together.

How do I continue living?

      Without the person I simply adore,
      with the emptiness that haunts my heart?

How do I deal with the pain?

      Of knowing you won't be mine,
      knowing I have to let you go.

So tell me, how do I say good-bye?

      Without my faith in love dying?
      Without drowning in thesse tears of pain?

oh I love this RP ...
heartstings playing on high ...
these are the hearts hardest questions...
whether or not we have the answers...
they make for beautiful poetry ..
nice to see your smiling face here sweet poetess  
take care

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins

Rosepetals,

Wonderful questions here.  Good luck on your search for the answers.  Time will tell and it is amazing what the heart can endure.

Not sure there are any answers to these questions...only time will tell.  Wonderful expression of the heartache that accompanies the reality of love and life sometimes.

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together
