Trying To Say Goodbye Poem by Ray Hansell

On the inside
My hearts begins to cry
I’m trying to find a way
To tell you goodbye

I never thought
It would come to this
I never imagined
I’d lose your kiss

Out times together
Indeed were magic
Why do good times
Always pass so quick

The passing years will hold
The memories that we’ve made
In my mind they live forever
From my memory they’ll never fade

The emotions that we shard
Came right from our hearts
I believe for that reason
We’ll never truly part

With life comes change I know
With change we all grow
With growth we all learn
That we reap just what we sow

Please don’t get me wrong
I’ll treasure the times we had
I know that the happy times
Will always far out number the bad

You know I want what’s best for you
Because you deserve that much
It will be difficult not seeing you
It will be worse not to feel your touch

You’ve been a part of me
For so many years
I know that I must go
But I still can’t stop the tears

I hope you know I’ll miss you
This makes me want to die
I now must face my greatest fear
That will be, to tell you goodbye
