The Last Goodbye Poem by shannon wright

I’ll never stop loving you
I just have to keep trying
to live my life without you.

every day is a new way to deal with
not having you here.

I see things I want to tell you about
I talk to you when no one is around
I pretend you are in another room

goodbye was always hard
I was so afraid that every time
would be the last.

then came the dreaded day
the day of The Last Goodbye.

I stood beside you,
your left hand in mine
and cried my farewell
while the angels took you away.

This was written for my Granny who died almost exactly 5 years ago. I miss her every day and although goodbye always feels like death to me, saying goodbye to her really did almost kill me. I know she's in a better place but who will love me like she did?
