Good Bye So HARD To Say . . .

Why can't you say the word
The hurtful word goodbye
How long can I linger
How much longer will I cry

Have I played the fool
Been a fool long enough
Yes, I do know this,
Yet good-byes are really rough

A word I do not like
I would rather say good day
Waiting, patiently, lingering
Still on my mind you prey

I know it will be hard
Good-byes are what I fear
Still open without closures
I dry up another tear

One day it will come
Maybe soon that fateful day
I still think its difficult
Good-bye's so hard to say . . .
