Painful Goodbyes

Have you ever lost anything or someone so valuable to you?   It can be an object or a special person who can be a family member, a friend or a lover?

While driving for work this morning, i heard a topic in RX 93.1's Morning Rush with Chico & Del, about why is it sad to let go or when does it hurt to miss someone.  They said, 'when you know he or she is not going back'.

True enough, YES, when somebody leaves for abroad, perhaps a friend or a special someone, who leaves due to unavoidable circumstances, its sad because you know you're going to miss them.  But then, you know they are just around and will be back for sometime.  You even get excited to receive messages through calls, cellphone, email, etc., specially now that we're living in a hi-tech world where communication is very easy.

On the other hand, when somebody leaves because its their time, death for instance, it pains because you know they're not coming back.  It may be scary to have them around but seriously, you're in 2 different worlds, the living and the dead.  There is no other way of communication but only through prayers and reminiscing the good old memories you've had.

The most painful of all is seeing the person you longed to be with but you know for a fact that he can no longer be yours.  It goes with the saying 'So near yet so far'.  It's the same feeling you  have when somebody dies.  What hurts more is you can still see him around and knowing that the pain he left behind is still there.   It may take sometime to fully recover but life has to move on.  The song below is a personal favorite, read on & reminisce the love you once had but can never be...

GOODBYE

I can see the pain living in your eyes 

And I know how hard you try 

You deserve to have so much more 

I can feel your heart and I sympathize 

And I'll never criticize 

All you've ever meant to my life 

I don't want to let you down 

I don't want to lead you on 

i don't want to hold you back 

From where you might belong 

You would never ask me why 

My heart is so disguised 

I just can't live a lie anymore 

I would rather hurt myself 

Than to ever make you cry 

There's nothing left to say but goodbye 

You deserve the chance at the kind of love 

I'm not sure i'm worthy of 

Losing you is painful to me 

I don't want to let you down 

I don't want to lead you on 

i don't want to hold you back 

From where you might belong 

You would never ask me why 

My heart is so disguised 

I just can't live a lie anymore 

I would rather hurt myself 

Than to ever make you cry 

There's nothing left to say but goodbye 

You would never ask me why 

My heart is so disguised 

I just can't live a lie anymore 

I would rather hurt myself 

Than to ever make you cry 

There's nothing left to try 

Though it's gonna hurt us both 

There's no other way than to say goodbye
