The hardest goodbye

I remember the time when we planned our entire lives ahead of us

Without thinking of anyone or anything else.

Everything felt so easy

and everything felt so right.

We were caught up in the moment and while I looked into your eyes I could see an eternity by your side.

It was an infinite moment, one which I wanted to last forever.

But for one reason or another I realized what people meant when they tell you to never plan ahead

For you never really know what life might throw at you.

For one reason or another as time went by we grew further and further apart.

I tried to hold on to you as hard as I could with all of the strength that I had

But in the process of losing you I was also losing myself.

I lived in a fantasy where I hoped nothing more than for our lives to go back

To the moment where we had nothing but laughs

And endless conversations until we lost track of time.

My love the story of you and I was always meant to be a short chapter

But as short as it was it will always remain my favorite one.

Today I am left with nothing but the bittersweet memories

and having to say yet the hardest goodbye.
