as you close the door...

life is gone in a flash
with just a glance of your eyes
you blinked for a moment
and only the shadows
and the sounds are left
in your sad memory
in your sad world
***
that clicking shoes
is all you could hear
breaking that dead silence
as they move on
faraway forever
past behind your door
past beyond your hold
***
goodbyes are like sunsets
that darkly illuminates the sky
the sad end of hellos
the sad end of the road
goodbyes are like falling leaves
that gently cascade down on your
nose, on your cheeks as you cry
at the end of a journey
at the end of an experience
at the end of the day
***
goodbye is what there is
to greet you till another hello
goodbye is that step to another
time, to another tomorrow
with high hopes of a different glimpse
of that sky
with high hopes of a brighter day
to come by
***
with hopes of more joy
and better times
of no more sorrows
of no more strife
but more laughter
and more lasting
heartfelt smiles
***
i welcome goodbye
for with it
i can welcome
another hello
in my life :)
