The Goodbyes I Never Got to Say

       We've all had someone who meant something to us - everything to us. And sadly most of us have had those who meant the world to us just simply slip through our fingers.

       There's always a void left within you. Like a goodbye that was never said- left to linger in the silence of walking away, passing away, and growing apart.

      I've often said if given the choice I'd much rather tell someone 'goodbye' than 'hello'. Not because I no longer wanted them in my life and not because I had any ill feelings towards them, quite the contrary actually. But, because with goodbyes there comes closure.

      The word goodbye is often given a bad reputation because it often means the ending of something. But we never take into consideration that some things cannot begin until something else ends.

     There are so many goodbyes I would like to say. But I will never get the chance to. For some the closest I would ever get would be talking to a gravestone in the middle of a cemetery. .

     We are never guaranteed tomorrow and neither are those around us. So why are we wasting time assuming people know how we feel about them? Even if within us telling them goodbye (in one way or another) is the only way we can show them our love then why aren't we doing it ?
