Goodbye Poem by Jade Baumgardner

I'm leaving now, saying goodbye
Holding onto you only makes me cry
Bitter tears of long sweet sorrow
That lead to wishful thinking of our tomorrow
I know it's not posible, it's just a far off thought
I should stop hoping and praying for everything that is not
But holding onto you and keeping you here
Is making it too hard and handcuffing me to what i fear
I know it's hard, this letting go
But it'll be good, in the end, and that you know
Maybe it was the full moon or maybe you never really cared
But I did and I couldn't say farewell because I was scared
But now I am stronger, at least pretending to be so
Goodbye to you and everything we've known
