This is not goodbye although we might meet, <br />Never again, nor this is farewell; <br />I know it's not goodbye albeit our hearts beat, <br />Each in a different space, but melodiously some place dwell. <br /> <br />Last time I blinked three years've gone by, <br />And now there aren't enough words to say: <br />For I am sure that this is not goodbye, <br />And such memories can't just end one day. <br /> <br />I dread when I walk out of that door: <br />This very moment could be the last; <br />I'm sure each step'll make me more sore, <br />And when I look back: eternity'd have passed! <br /> <br />You only appreciate what is gone, <br />But this time this is not the case; <br />Yet tears are still to stream anon: <br />When you yet can't the present embrace. <br /> <br />Fortune pities not who've loved so dear, <br />Just fills them with regrets over a joyous time; <br />If only I could tell that the end was near, <br />Right when we started such a startling chime! <br /> <br />I knew it had to end right from the start, <br />As do all beautiful and wonderful things; <br />And though it kills me softly as it slowly breaks my heart: <br />I have to accept always a beauty sadness brings. <br /> <br />Words are but worthless for my feelings are beyond: <br />So I guess I'd rather in silence only leave; <br />But no matter the distance, there will ever be this bond: <br />That will always make me smile while I grieve! <br /> <br />It's only when the end is nigh, <br />As I am in tremendous pain: <br />That I know it was not goodbye; <br />Instead, 'Till we shall meet again.'<br /><br />Danny The Dreamer Boyd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-not-goodbye/
