Last Goodbye

Conversations with you
Continue in my mind…..
Sometimes I think I’m just too kind,
But that was only you

I still hear your words,
Echoing in my head,
The same words that help
Make me humble today

We shared the same tears,
I know what they’re worth,
Now that you’re gone

So if you’re watching
Fill me with the words
That you would say…..

I can’t see you,
But I feel you…..

Faint memories reveal your words
And they encourage me

I’ve been my own worst critic…..
You helped me realize
That I was all wrong

I can’t make it all right,
But I can do what’s best

The words you left behind
Make more sense every day
And this mountain I’ve climbed
Doesn’t relieve the pain in any way

I can’t see you,
But I feel you…..

I still see you mumbling
“I love you” for the very last time
And I walked out the door
Knowing it would be the last time
And there was nothing I could do

You inspire me to be strong
To just make it through,
It’s all I have…..


In this last goodbye,
I still feel your cold hard hand,
See your peaceful smile and gray hair,
I cry the same warm tears,
And I remember who I am.
