Goodbye

I have know you for fifteen years
my whole life...
  ...
...
...
But now I'm told this is the last time I can say good bye
How do you tell someone you love goodbye
Only to know that they will die

What if after I say goodbye you pass
What if I'm the last person you see
How can I live with that

Saying goodbye to you will be one of the hardest things I have ever done
How can I round up a life time of you in only a hour
I don't want to do this
I know I must
I can't
Not yet....

Your only months away from your big party
Your supposed to turn 95
I'm told you won't make it that long
You have less than three months to live

So now I do the hardest thing I can
I say goodbye

There won't be a funeral,
nothing official to say goodbye at
There is just now
Goodbye

Author notes

So i found out my great grandma has less than 3 months to live and i have no clue on how to say goodbye, wont it hurt her when she knows she has to say it one last time? How can you say goodbye and just walk away? I dont think im strong enough.
