This is goodbye.
Farewell.
The end.
Maybe just for now
Or maybe for forever.
I feel my lip tremble
And my vision starts to blur
But I swear I will not cry
Not when you look so happy.
I'm terrified for the future
And the uncertainties that lie ahead.
We might never see each other again.
And if we do, I'm afraid it won't be the same.
I will no longer be your best friend--
Just someone you knew a long time ago.
And when I think of this
My throat gets tight
And I feel like I'm suffocating.
But I breathe and I swear I will not die.
Not when you are going out and living.
I have words to tell you
But they are stuck in my throat
Refusing to come out.
I want to say them, I need to say them before you go
But they would make your smile disappear
So I swallow them and smile and swear I will not confess my love
Not when you are smiling so dearly
And trying to say goodbye too.
