This is more than a goodbye more than a placeholder, or a to be continued, this is a farewell to everything both good and bad
This is all my fears, every last tear placed on a platter, and I am forced to consume them one by one, until I'm reminded that nothing good lasts forever and everybody leaves
This is more than a death, more than a resurrection, I know now the loneliness Jesus felt in that tomb, but this emptiness I feel is going to last a lot longer than 3 days
I will rise, slowly, dusting off the remnants of a less-than heart never to be the same again too many tears have been shed, but
*I'll see you next lifetime
I'll always find you, and you me
Inspired by Erykah Badu's song "Next Lifetime" a song she used to play for me at the beginning of this rollercoaster
