the hardest goodbye
it hurts to
bury this ;

not only do i
say goodbye
to you,
the man i
love,

but i say
goodbye
to the girl
i was when
i loved you,
too.

she was
my favorite
version of
myself,
because
she was also
loved
by you –

the soft girl,
the sweet girl,
the girl that
would have
sooner died
than not
love you
with every
atom of
her being --

the girl who
was unafraid
to love so
deeply, because
she trusted love
more than
she trusted
herself ...

her funeral
is today,
and i know,
just like you,
i will never
see her
again.
