I said goodbye to some friends recently that I knew I might not see again.
It feels like you have forever
Until you don't
It feels like they will always be there
Until they're not
Trying to cram a lifetime of memories
Into one week
Trying to get hours of conversations
In one visit
Pretending you're heart isn't breaking
When it is
Pretending you'll see each other soon
When you won't
Pushing away the tears that threaten
Until you're alone
Pushing away the thought of tomorrow
Until it's here
Attempting to smile through the pain
Striving for hope
Attempting to say a goodbye that lasts
Striving for a memory
Hoping you are remembered
After they leave
Hoping you get to see them again
After they're gone
This is so beautiful!

Wow, girl. I related to this poem way too much. As soon as I saw the title, I knew I was going to cry. And...yeah, pretty much. You have such a way with words. This one is painfully beautiful. <3
Well, I cried when I wrote it, so we're in this together. <3 Thank you so much. <3
DeleteI've been meaning to tell you this for a while, but I think your blog heading is the prettiest ever! And your blog post graphics are so pretty. You use my favourite font. :D Also, you're a great photographer! :)
