Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye 

To someone you love 

Is like reading the final page 

Of an amazing book. 

As the last chapter ends

You begin to notice 

Just how beautiful 

And perfect

The plot always was. 

You appreciate the joy 

And even the pain 

As you read and complete

Every page. 

Finally understanding 

The moral of the story, 

You realize you've reached

The end of this journey. 

Although the last sentence 

Is the most difficult to read

Another great book awaits 

Once you turn the final page. 

You may just discover

Once all is said and done 

That this particular book 

Was your favorite story 

All along.
