Good-Bye

He says this because he will probably never return…
He must move on…
His heart is almost mended…
But it still hurts…

The thing he wishes most…
Is that it could end…
By the two of them showing only a little of the love that had been shared for so long…
The pain just continues.

He stopped asking why and just knows that it is…
He stopped trying to figure out how it broke…
Maybe it didn’t…
He must move on and take with him all that was good.

He tried harder than he ever thought he could…
He can not find the strength for another day…
He knows if he moves on, his life will have more joy…
He has to kill the love that is left.

He looks at the little one…
And wonders if she has been cheated…
It is not the life he had planned for her…
But he knows a new beginning will benefit her as well.

Life is made up of a bunch of different changes…
The thing to do now is make sure the changes are for the better…
No looking back and no regrets…
Work twice as hard and take on the job of two.

He goes to her and sits her down…
He gives her the thoughts he has written…
She begins to tear up and grabs for his hand…
She tells him she understands and also wants the pain to end.
