Goodbye

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?
As the world can’t wait to pass you by.
The memories of a moment blur within your mind,
A kaleidoscope of images of your life gone by.
Learning to live within the confines of each other,
Blending space as we grow close together.

Memories of the challenge of the Great Climb,
Walking forward through wind and ice.
Wanting to give up but pressing onward,
Grasping hold of the goal in sight.
The great challenge to overcome,
This battle with the only one,
To keep us from the goal.
Within ourselves this battle we must fight.
Triumph becomes ours, as we overcome ourselves
Shattering the obstacles in our mind,

More memories to add,
Why must parting be so sad?
The trek in the rain,
Early morning walks,
The time we spent together
Nothing to take its spot
But the time has come
For us to leave this place.
The roads that we travel
May all diverge from here
But maybe some tomorrow
Our paths may cross
Bringing back memories of yesterday
To bridge the time we lost.
