Goodbye

I feel bad that I don't feel worse

As sad as goodbye is I may have always known

You're not one for me 

You're not the one I seek

You've been my best friend

My lover

My roommate, my partner

But moving on feels right

You've fathered my children

You've lead and I've followed

But those days are over

You're still my friend

You still have a piece of me

Always

We share something 

That will never separate us

Their smiling faces will keep us together 

Friends and partners

Goodbye is never easy

But we'll have many happy moments together still

Graduations, wedding dates, and grand kids

Moments that are ours and ours alone

We have much left to share

Even after our goodbye

Well another step forward...  Another day gone...  Is it wrong that I am in a good mood today?  Is it wrong that I am looking forward to the future in a way I couldn't before? Not that I was unhappy... only settled in.  My life was routine and now anything is possible... It makes me sad that I feel that way... Losing my mate has been a revelation... maybe I wasn't as happy as I thought I was... Though I WAS content.  Now I'm scared, anxious and a little bit excited... life is full of twists and turns.... I wonder whats around the next corner.
