Goodbye

By: Whitney Allison Byrd

Somewhere, in recent time
Our blanket of love was torn
Now, at the present hour,
It is tattered and badly worn.

In the beginning it was tightly woven
It looked perfect and new
All of a sudden it has become old
With holes we can see right through

We took our love for granted
We gave it no thought
Now, I realize our love was priceless
A blanket that can't be bought.

It will hurt me when we split
The great pain of being apart
But I shall keep of what was "us"
And hold it close to my heart.

Of everything I recall
There is nothing I regret
Of all the happy times we had
None of it I will forget.

So, give me one last kiss
Then let us say good-bye
I will always love you,
Every night I sit and cry.
