Good By E

Describe GoodByE?

It's a song I can sing, if I were able to. I can't right now, but soon. It's saying fare well to you forever as you are, we will never be the same again. It's waking up to a fresh new distance from each other, like when you're soaring above the clouds and then you wake up without realising you fell asleep, you're suddenly Somewhere Else. Someone Else. Good bye to You, forever and ever. I shall at least never meet you as such again. When next I see you, I'll meet you all over again. Meet me all over again. ~Wind

• Wow...that is a wonderful description. I'm going to copy that into my journal so I don't forget it. I love you! Emma

a peircing realisation that leaves a bittersweet taste on my skin. it's what makes my memories come through my eyes liquid form and fills my mind with questions.. i must have been less than what was needed. the difference between valuable and expendable. selling that childhood doll you used to sleep with at your next garage sale. and i wonder if you'll miss me when i'm gone. letting go after the longest struggle of your life. coming to grips with a less than perfect reality. i'll miss you. goodbye is my worst fear.

Goodbye is waking up from the blissful dream- the fantasy that you would be here forever. It is realizing that I can't sleep forever. Eventually, I have to wake up, and you'll have to go. My mind, body, soul, and everything cry out, telling me to close my eyes; to go back to sleep, but I can't. Part of me wants it to be a dream, because in a dream, anything can happen, and you wouldn't have to go, but in a dream, the dissapointment when you wake up and find that none of it was real... that's almost worse than you leaving. When I wake up, I want it all to have been real. I want you to have been here. I want you to be here. -JessicaSkater

it is a dream from the first hello that echos off the mountains and trees and houses, goodbye, goodbye, bye... constantly thinking "who is leaving first? who lives farthest away? should i sit with her alone or laugh with him and her and him and her? what will make the best memories?" my life is the memory in the making, and i cannot forget it because soon memories will be all i have. for a long time i would not go to sleep because i would have to wake up, have to realize once again that you didn't smile at me, remember the last touch of your hand... goodbye is even less necesary than i love you. i live with them both.

It's when the bus is off and then you're alone! They're gone! Gah! Well, at least now you can sleep.
