Goodbye

When it's time to say goodbye,
All I want to do is cry,
Watching you walk, I wonder why,
Why you have to go so soon,
Always too soon,
And it's so hard to say goodbye.

Watching the sun-setting sky,
Darkness falls and time flies by,
I wonder why,
Why you have to go so soon,
Always too soon,
And it's so hard to say goodbye.
But I'm waiting,
Like waiting for the light of the moon,
Hoping that we'll meet again soon,
But it's never soon,
And it's always so hard to say goodbye.

hello Joel

The title is simple and to the point and the language usage is great. I liked the pacing and how you made an overused, tired theme seem fresh again. My favorite lines are: But I’m waiting, Like waiting for the light of the moon, Hoping that we’ll meet again soon, But it’s never soon, And it’s always so hard to say goodbye. Always, Cat

Thank you

Hey Cat, Thank you so much for your comment, I'm really pleased you liked it, I did think that it was an "overused and tired theme" and I am glad you thought I made it seem fresh!! Thank you again for your support!! Always, Joel x
