Author's Notes

"A few years ago I was not in a very good place. I got a yes to a friend request.  That friendship led me to another and they brought me away from that place. They became a couple and through them and their love I left that place forever. Now one is gone and I was slow in saying goodbye, mostly because I didn't know how. I finally figured it out... To Cara and Amy."

 

 

How do you say good-bye to someone like her

What do you tell her

What can you say

She was there when needed most

She pulled you back from a certain end

She woke up your soul and supported your return

One of the two that kept you from taking that step

 

What do you say

How can you tell her what she did for you

Would she understand

Would she think you daft

Or maybe laugh it off

 

There are no words

There is no sentiment

No thoughts can express

What she means to your soul

But you know

You feel it deep

In a place that is still hidden

A place that no one goes

 

She helped open that closed door

So what the hell do you say

When she goes will the days stop

Will the night cease to come

No, life keeps pace with itself

Moving forward no matter what

Even if yours seems to slow down a beat

Life moves on

 

If you do not say the right things she may never know

If you say too little how can she know

You spend your time thinking of the perfect words

You know they are there

You know she deserves them

Then you look into her eyes

And the words ARE there

She WILL know

She will feel it

She has to know

 

Turning to her

The build-up complete

All you need do is speak

Just say it

 

Till we meet again

THANK YOU

Cara
