Learning To Say Goodbye

You’re gone, but not forgotten…
Your memory’s always there
Inside my heart forever…
Your spirit’s everywhere.

The love we shared together
Will always be my guide,
As I walk towards the future
Without you by my side.

The pain’s somewhat subsided
As the weeks and months gone by
Have taught me to accept my fate
And no longer question ‘why?’

The road that I’ve now traveled
Seems so long and yet it’s been
Only nine short months and counting…
Very soon it will be ten!

And then, before I know it…
The year mark will be here,
I can’t believe how fast the time
Is flying by, my dear.

The tears don’t fall as often,
As they once did, but I find,
Inside me, they’re still flowing
‘Cause you’re always on my mind.

I miss you more than words can say,
So I won’t even try
To tell you what your being gone
Means to me and why…

I still continue living
My life that’s left to live,
I’d rather be with you, my love,
But I must have more to give…

To those who now surround me,
They need me, so please know…
I can’t be with you yet, sweetheart,
I must stay here below

Without you, ’til the time is right -
When I’ll join you once again.
My work is still unfinished here…
I can’t leave until then.

There is one thing I promise though,
And that is when I’m done…
I’ll be there in a heartbeat and
Into your arms I’ll run!
