I can feel you breathing on me, like a shadow haunting 
from behind me. 
I'm down here on the floor, praying that I'll be able to 
let you go free. 

It's not easy saying goodbye. 
You were my angel for a few days, but it felt like 
years to me. 
All I can seem to do is cry. 
You came and went like a soft blue wave, and the tears 
that come aren't easy on me. 

I can feel you stepping over me, like a creep passing 
by a window. 
I'm down here on the floor, hoping you can hear me so 
you may know. 

It's not easy saying goodbye. 
You were my angel for a few days, but it felt like 
years to me. 
All I can seem to do is cry. 
You came and went like a soft blue wave, and the tears 
that come aren't easy on me. 

I'm sitting here, wondering about the days that could 
have been. 
It's sad to say, those days will never get to be. 
But in the next life, I will see you and call you my 
family. 
Til then, I'll remember to always let love 
win. 

It's not easy saying goodbye. 
You were my angel for a few days, but it felt like 
years to me. 
All I can seem to do is cry. 
You came and went like a soft blue wave, and the tears 
that come aren't easy on me.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

This is amazing. It's so bittersweet. Goodbyes are really hard to say, that's why they're on my lis of dislikes. It's an amazing poem, full of emotion. It's just all in all, it's wonderful! I love it! Thank you for sharing this! You are a really talented and wonderful person and writer. Thank you again.
