If This Goodbye

I actually came up with this while thinking of the plot for another planned story featuring a gay ghost and his two friends who never even knew he died a long time ago. In any case, this was supposed to be lyrics for a song during the parting scene. But since I don't know how to write lyrics, let alone compose a song, I chose to do it like this instead -- the format that, at least, I'm quite familiar with.

This is a free verse poem, by the way. I'll mention about that story once again once I have it started.

If this goodbye
is so hard to even speak of
How will I erase this lingering pain
that is about you?

We had this chance again
to live in our memories
Once buried in our resentments
and misunderstandings
Despite that, reality will continue
to tell me the painful truth

So if this goodbye
is what's needed
to set us free
No matter how much
it will hurt
Regardless of the tears
that will flow
Then I'll say it to you
with conviction

In hopes that in one
of our lifetimes,
The one path we once
walked on together
Will shine once more
To allow us to continue
our pending story

So that this time,
fate won't separate us
ever again
Until then, let me live
in this hurt that stays
Ever since I realized
that this life
will never bring you
back to me anymore...
