Saying Goodbye

I said goodbye tonight,

one of a few that matter.

Seems like life never really

changes even when we

think there’s always a chance.

Old memories and rock and roll,

bring us along in a silent haze.

All the wishes we might have

would be cherished if the reveal

meant each of us could feel peace.

Sometimes life is meant to travel

far beyond those original ideas.

It’s then we know our departure

is the only alternative remains.

I once knew how to listen,

and then somewhere down the road,

I forgot that life still keeps happening.
