Goodbye
I will meet you again but in a different way.
I will see you in the sparkle of my eye whenever I see a Winnie the Pooh joke. I know he was always your favorite.
I will see you in the way my lips create a shy smile still being cautious of the braces that are no longer in my mouth
I will feel you in my heart when my siblings bring up a memory of you.
I will feel you in my throat when I scream your favorite song trying to pretend that everything in this world is alright.
But I will never see you again.
I will never smile the same way at the people you loved so much.
I will never see myself as the positive bubbly person that you are.
I will never love you again.
We are not the same.
I don’t know if we will ever reconnect again.
But I do know that I can’t be you.
I can’t love everyone like you can.
I can’t be good at everything like you are.
I can’t smile like you do.
I can’t feel as deeply as you do.
You made me numb and I blame you and your forever loving heart for that.
Goodbye
