I've said my goodbyes Even if it was just in my mind Looking hard and long At our shared lives All that we've experienced together With some it's more years than others With others it's deeper than some And I allowed myself all the feels Laughing through my tears Life is a mixed bag of happy and sad
Saying goodbye while still alive Allows me to live and love wide open I already know the ending Whether you die first or I There is no need To make more memories Your essence is now encapsulated In my heart and mind and soul All else is the superficial The marking of time as bodies
And I learned from my mother That we were already Encapsulated in each others hearts There was no need to keep her alive And entertained and happy She only needed my truth She needed to sense my soul "That way I can find you" So let your true essence shine So loved ones can find you
Too many Won't entertain the thought Of dying and death Too maudlin, too macabre Too sad, too hard But it is the only way Let go of the tether To find your own essence All I know Is that love deepens when you let go.
