How can I say goodbye

I cannot say goodbye for it is a word that
I detest the rest is said when I look at your
face and can see the tears falling.

How can I say goodbye to a love a friendship
a meaningful relationship that took me a millennia
to improve and prosper.
How can I say goodbye to you when I love you so much
drives me crazy to know that you will leave me soon?

Remembering those lazy days when you and I lay under the
apple tree and playsultry games with our lips entwined in a
passionate kiss. And those blissful moments the melancholy
moments, I don't want it to fade to a meaningless space.

How can I say goodbye when there is so much for us to gain
how can I let you go and keep my dreams alive?
Why should I say goodbye when you still need me and all I want
to do is hold you closer and never let you go.
Never will I say goodbye for it says I will not see you again I would
rather say see you later because I know in my heart goodbye
is forever.
