Saying Goodbye Means...I Love You Poem by Cynthia Aluning

Sometimes...
Parting ways is bitter
At times...
Parting ways is better
If you love me real
Set me free
Only in this
Life is conflict-free


If ever I say 'Goodbye'
That does not mean
I love you no more
But I want you to be
Much happier than before


And if ever I sob and cry
It's not because I lost you
Not only you that I will lose
But I lose life myself for you


God seemed to know
How much I loved you
Yet He would not
Let me have you
For having you means
I could lose you
And in not having you means
I could love you


Now we are happy
We made it light
By letting love go
It is just right
Though I wished
I could have been
But giving you back
You'll be at peace
