Let Her Go...

[je_adore_moi]

it's so hard to say
what I want to say
one word is not that difficult usually
but in this case it is
no one should have to say
...goodbye...

see her lying there
is the strangest thing to see
it hurts to look at her this way
my beating heart keeps breaking
my baby blues keep tearing
and there is pain

it is etched in the lines in my face
makes it hard to smile
you hear it in my voice
a voice that teeters between strength and sorrow

we all knew she would have to leave the ones she loved soon
but I didn't think it would be so soon
with so little notice
how do you prepare?

I know she'll be better off when she leaves this plane
but how do you let someone go?
someone who holds a piece of your heart
that won't return to you when she goes
but instead to go with her never to return

it'll leave you feeling missing and slightly empty
but you know that it is never far away
not from your mind... or your heart

how do you let go?
and how do you say goodbye?
