Goodbye. Poem by bernard ogalo oduor

Yesterday-
Just yesterday-
You said to me 
That you were fine
And you helped me dream
About many things that I loved

How should I feel
When everything you kill
With every momentOf your absence?
For todayWhere the beautiful flowers grew
Grows the red soilAnd within the earth
You are plantedHoping that one day
You will grow into green grass
That you will grow into a beautiful flower 
And lick the red soilThe blood in my heart-A wounded heart

Nothing is left
But the memory of you
I cherish every moment
You created in my life
And every laughter we shared
Now has a new meaning.
That life has two sides
For sure I have learnt
Sweet and bitter
Hello and goodbye
I wonder why

I said hello to you
A long time ago
Now I guess
I got to let you go
And allow you
A peaceful sleep
As I say
Goodbye.
