Good Bye

You're gone again!
A hug, a kiss, some tears.
Watching you walking away.
Again.

And once more the doubt.
Is this the right thing?
Again.

Soft sobs from the back seat as we drive around the corner.
They break my heart.
Again.

I know you are hurting.
"I don't want to leave!" you say.
Again.

How long will logic and reason keep us apart?
We pin our hopes on the future.
Maybe soon...

Until then we say a thousand goodbyes.

Hi and good morning Jeannine.
Hope you and the kids had a good start into the week. Hope you are healthy again, as well :-)

Looks like you all together had a nice time.

To say good-bye isn't always easy.
I like your poem and want to add what I recently read and experienced myself:
Abschied - Die innigste Weise menschlichen Zusammenseins.
(Hans Kudszus)

regards Markus

The poem was lovely, and it must be horrible to say goodbye to Simon!
Hopefully my 2000+ visitor post might cheer you up!

I looked into that personalda.com, very interesting personality assessment, and I found it to be much more accurate than several other online personality assessments... I was a "Faithful Idealist".
