How do I say goodbye?

Culmination.

Wrap-up.

Climax.

Soon to be the end.

The end of what felt like forever.

How do I tie up the ends of my life like this?

How do I say goodbye

To Google meets when we didn't even really have to

Saying we needed to study

Snow days spent

Not lonely

Because I had you?

How do I say goodbye

To the duet

The songs

Sleigh Ride, the dreaded piece

I barely survived

And you said "Congrats!" like it was

A rite of passage or something?

How do I say goodbye

To yo-yo

Joking

Laughing

Practice rooms

The spelling bee

The birthdays

September

All the little things you've ever said

Stored up in my brain?

How do I say goodbye to that?

And then all the things After too

Sitting next to you

Holding your hand

Hearts

Everything.

How do I say goodbye?

How could I ever say goodbye to this?

    Two kids

    The song

    The beat

    The rhythm

    You know the rhythm, don't you?

    Pulling you up

    Pulling you to me

    Out there

    I know it's scary

    Couldn't we let go and not care

    Just for tonight?

  • Giddy

    Giddy is the exhilaration

    Thinking about you

    Getting excited

    For what, I don't know

    Counting down the days until I can see you again

    (Summer is hard)

    Reading love stories

    Listening to love songs

  • I cried

    I cried.

    I looked at the photos,

    The Polaroids,

    And I cried

    And cried

    And cried.

    I couldn't feel anything.

    My heart was bleeding

    And I couldn't feel it.

    I cried

    Emotionless
