My love introduced me to this beautiful song & beautiful Dutch artist this morning;
I just have to share it with you all...
First things first: RULES ...
- DO NOT use ANY of the lyrics in your poem, title, et cetera -
- Use spell-check, for the sake of all that is holy!
- CREDIT song by putting the name and artist in your Author Notes
- please do not give me end line rhyme 
I am being up front when I say rhyming will not get you a trophy; unless you are so good that I see past the rhyme initially, I only know a few gifted poets here who can do that.
- imagery, brevity & quality will get you everywhere -- nothing over 20 lines please
- reserves are welcome but don't forget to come back before it closes
Your prompt is this song: Sweet Goodbyes ~ Krezip
it really is a must listen

Exerpt from the lyrics:
Wake up the sun's shining bright lets go out of bed into the light
Shape up we won't forget still there's lots of love left to hold tight
Tears in your eyes, Sweet goodbyes
I know how you feel right now
Losing dreams you've come to care about
I know what you need right now
You need to come on home so I can hold you tight
Guide you through the night
Everything I love between us will guide us through the night
All the things we lost will teach us see the pretty things in life
All the places that we've been to
The people we relate to
All the love that we give in to
* points will increase as I see fit
* I reserve the right to DQ without explanation to those who failed to follow, or not bother to read the rules
