Never Goodbye

It’s not as if you’re gone.
But in a way you are.
A part of me fell right down.
You were close, but so far.

It seemed different in my head.
A night I’d never forget.
A part of me lost all hope.
You hadn’t heard, but I still felt regret.

I stood next to you.
Struggling to find words to say.
And a part of me lost my mind.
You were there, but you didn’t stay.

I held back the tears.
Reassured myself I wouldn’t cry.
A part of me knew.
This will never be goodbye.
