About the Poem

How many times have you heard someone say, "if I could only have said goodbye?" This is that final goodbye that the soul is missing.

Goodbye At Last

Saying goodbye is never easy
It's the hardest thing to do
But what hurts even more
Is not the chance to say it to you.

Yesterday is just a memory
Our laughter was sunny and bright
Then clouds started to gather
For you were no where in sight.

You were my first real love
And this I will never forget
How you left without a warning
No good-byes, my only regret.

Wherever I may be now
Always searching for another so true
To place my world of emotion
Handing my love to someone like you.

If again I must go there
And experience all the pain
I would do it in a minute
For all the good I would gain.

No matter what my wrongs
You offered only love
Until the day you left me
For your new home up above.

I know you still are with me
Your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present
Our souls will never part.

This is given to you in honor
Of all that we did share
I just wanted you to know, dear,
How much I really did care.

Hi I loved your poem. I lost my husband in march and it was hard. I did have the opertunity to say good bye. The hard part was watching him pass away, knowing there was nathing I could do. I live that morning every day. I still am thankful than I was able to say goodbye even though it was heart breaking. Your poem in so many ways was how I felt about him and how I will always feel. Thankyou for allowing mw to read it. It is the most beautiful poem I have ever read and I could tell that when you bwrote it that it was coming from a loving heart that I am sure you have . Best wishes to you
