Goodbye

I thought I knew
Everything you were
But, as some people say
When you know everything, you know nothing

I stand here, on the rock
You remember, don't you?
The rock we used to play on
When we were little children

As the wind whispers in my ear
It reminds me of those summer days
Those days are long gone now
But still, I like to remember

It was here, you told me
That soon, you had to say goodbye
Through that, I realized
I don't know you

The pain of knowing
That all these years
I had false knowledge about you
Was worse than you could know

Maybe thats why you were avoiding me
So that you could spare me,
From this horrible fate
You hade to face

As I stand on the rock
Above your grave
I have to say goodbye
To one I hardly knew
But the pain is still there
...Goodbye...

    I can feel the blatant emotion in this one, the hurt shines through so strongly that it aches me. I think many of us can relate in some way, which is what makes it even stronger! Thanks for entering! Love the poem.
