Dissapointment.
Its bitter taste.
Consuming every fiber of you.
Pouring failure through your soul.
Licking at your feet.
Pulling you bellow the surface.
Shadows of 'could have beens' and 'should have beens' lurking around each corner.
Not good enough.
Not good enough.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
But above all, not brave enough.
Goodbye lonely road, no victim be I today.

Passing By
Dreams.
Coloured with Hopes and Failures.
Coloured with Tears and Spilled Love.
Forgotten Strangers.
Who said more than you ever did.
Who made more of an Impact.
Who spoke to the soul of me.
Goodbye these awkward silences.
Goodbye To You.
Goodbye to all the things I knew.
I do this for them.
For me.

Goodbye To You.
Goodbye to all the things I knew.

For me.
Saying Goodbye
What is it about saying goodbye that's so difficult? I mean, even if something we should say goodbye to, we still get all sad about it. The tears roll. The depression starts. Suddenly the only way to claw you way back into society is to down a few extra large slabs of chocolate while singing 'All by myself' (not that I would know...I swear...okay, it only happened once....five times). But seriously, what is about saying goodbye that's just so hard? Even if we say goodbye to people, there's emails, letters, skype, live chat. The opportunities to stay in touch are endless.
But you know what? I think I've cracked down on this whole goodbye thing. I think we have trouble saying goodbye because we're scared of what's waiting around the corner. We're scared of failing, scared to loose our security blanket. But the thing is, if we don't dare to seek, how will we find?
I think that's the same thing with relationships. I know we all convince ourselves that it's some aspect of a person we miss. Perhaps their smell or their touch or the way they kiss us. But are those aspects of a relationship really worth the pain we go through? Maybe they are. Perhaps I'm wrong to think that better opportunities await us around the corner.
There's one thing that I know for sure though. When we say goodbye to something or someone, we truly realise their value. Either way, whether we loose them or not, we'll know for sure if they're worth going back to. And if things don't work out, it doesn't mean life is over, it just means that tommorow is another day for a brand new begining with new things and new people to say hello and goodbye to.
