How do you say Goodbye

How do you find the words to say good bye,
When the tears can't help but well in your eye,
And the time comes to let go,
It's something your heart doesn't want to know,
It festers down deep inside,
The feelings you try so desperately to hide,
You try to push it down but contain,
It grows within, It hurts the pain,
Try as you may and try as you must,
Its you you can't convince yourself you trust,
Left lying in a pool of doubt,
There's the one you never forget about,
See them while your sleeping in your dreams,
While nothing is ever as it seems,
But continuously plays on your mind
An answer you can never find,
Its hard to just let go,
Of the one and only love you've known,
So let your tears fall till they run dry,
And have the strength to say good bye...
