Sometimes, as we grow and evolve, we have to say good-bye to old companions (emotions) that no longer fit into our evolution.And yet, for all their negative impact, letting go what has once been so much a part of you can almost be -- painful?Do you understand?

Thus, Saying Good-bye:


Saying Good-bye . . .
It doesn’t come easy.

I’ve grown used to your company.

You’ve traveled with me over many a year
Always there when I felt uncertain
Stepping up close
Taking hold of my hand

Question is, can I manage without you?

Strangely enough, I don’t want to say good-bye.
Must I?

Yes.Yes I must.
It is for the best . . .

this parting.

For in truth,
Your companionship only holds me back
You keep me from becoming complete
You exist only for my failure

Leave.

Yes, leave.

We are done, you and I.

Pass quickly out the door,
Before I beg you to return,
Allowing me once again to be secure . . .

in insecurity.

S.A.T.
