No more goodbyes

I didn't say goodbye to you
Because you couldn't be gone
I had to see you again, right?
You promised

This is how it ends for you
This wasn't how it was supposed to end for you

Maybe this is what you wanted.
To forget the loss and pain and sin
To forever close the emerald eyes that had seen to much but didn't speak
Your emerald eyes, like jades
Eyes of a young boy, soul of a survivor 

You could have done anything
You could have stopped it
Did you wish for death?
I want to hate you, for hurting me like this
I want to hate you, but of course, I can't

You looked peaceful when you died
Like you were having a nice dream
Your soul was gone, yes, but mine wasn't 
It will always be with you, resting, finally happy

You said that I was the first
to not want anything in return from you
and I didn't believe you
but now I feel the same
The world is full of monsters who lie to get their way

Death doesn't take your pain away, it passes it on to me
It's true that I would never experience life the way you did, for we were from different worlds
But I will not say goodbye to you

Maybe we'll meet again, in another life
The stars are endless, so maybe somewhere out there
I'll find you

I will not say goodbye to you
I will say goodbye to your world, but not to you

    This so deep, so meaningful, I could feel your anguish in the words.
