To Daddy, To Ma, To Jimmy, To Joseph, <br />To Bryan, To Raiona, To Cheri-Anne, To Ty <br />And to all the rest…. <br />You know who you are… <br /> <br />This is my goodbye to you <br />You all were a special part of my life <br />But, for now, I must let you go, let go and forget <br />I’ve held on to our memories together <br />The fun we had, and our disasters too <br />But keeping these memories is affecting me <br /> <br />…Affecting me and the other people in my life… <br /> <br />My focus is failing <br />Important dates are passing me by <br />My family is fading…away <br />I need to get back in the game <br />This game that’s called my life <br /> <br />No, this isn’t the end <br />This is me, for once, letting go <br />I need to move on <br />Something I can’t do while holding on to you <br />I’m sorry it has to happen this way <br />Forgive me <br />But, for now, I must say Bye. <br /> <br />November 13,2008<br /><br />Allysyn Bryant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bye-bye-10/
